[QUOTE="Tin Yachtsman, post: 163683, member: 3536"] I made a little progress with the motor yesterday. I got the tell-tale hose off and cleared it out. It was a little gunked up, but not totally blocked. Took the water intake plate off and checked for blockage there, but didn't find any. I didn't feel confident about dropping the lower unit without a service manual, and I didn't have a gasket for the thermostat, so I didn't try those steps. I got a service manual off eBay and just ordered a new impeller, housing, and gaskets to replace the impeller. So I am going to be digging deeper into the motor soon. Question: How good is RTV Silicone at replacing gaskets? It looks like there are some gaskets in the water pump that are no longer available. Thanks for the continued help. [/QUOTE]
