"Hello,
I have a Mercruiser 5
"Hello,
I have a Mercruiser 5.7 V8 engine with a Alpha 1 sterndrive (the boat has been standing for a few years)
Could you help me plaease .... I can not get water to flow through the system and out the exhausts.
I have tryed with bunny ears and standing the sterndrive in a tub of water and also a hose pipe going direct into the water pick up pipe
The engine runs fine but all the water pipes are empty and alot of steam comes out the exhausts
What would be the first thing to check/replace?
(at the moment i am bypass the SternDrive, have the hose pipe going into the engine pick up side)
Thank you for any help"
