thread chasers use for
will clean damaged external or internal threads.
types of water pumps
displacement pump
volume pump
displacement water pump
A displacement pump will pump out as much water as it draws in.
In a displacement pump, the impeller is sealed to the wall of the pump b
pilot water/(tell tale) frozen
The pilot water indicator shows the water pump is working.
flushing cooling system
Always back flush the engine if impeller is damaged. failure to back flush damaged pieces out of the system results in powerhead blockage and damage.
RPM flushing cooling
To properly flush an engine, run the engine at a fast idle,
no longer than 10 to 15 minutes.
poppet valve stuck open
the engine will not reach proper operating temperature (run cold) and will run rough at idle.
poppet valve stuck closed
if the poppet valve is stuck closed, the engine will cause an overheat condition at high rpm.
stray current corrosion causes
poor grounding
major component of a closed coolant system
raw water pump
forward only gear case
the power flows from the crankshaft to the driveshaft via a splined coupling
shaft breakage due to high energy impacted
smooth break
marine lubricants
Marine lubricants are formulated to be water-soluble so that any water entering the gear case is emulsified with the oil
inspection lower unit
helps determine the cause of lower unit failure
clutch dog damage
This is a sign of a misadjusted shift system or
operator shifting too slowly.
inspection of prop shaft
Is it bent? This is the result of hitting something. Is the propeller shaft split lengthwise? This is usually from a loose stainless steel prop
sealing problems
rust sometimes prevents a seal from having a smooth and proper fit with the shaft.
make sure direction of seal lip is correct
conducting pressure and vacuum test reason
the lower unit is disassembled
if water is discovered in the lower unit lubricant.
pressure testing gear case
Attach a pressure tester (such as a Stevens S-34) to the oil level hole and pressurize the gear case to the service manual specification.
jet pump benefits
allows for easy navigation in shallow water and allows for beaching of a boat at remote locations.
