I have a 83 beachcraft with a 3.8 chev engine.It overheats on the hose but not on the water..I'm just wondering if there is an impeller in the lower unit and how do I get the right one?? I can't find the 3.8 listed in any parts book.I'm told its an oddball motor>> Thanks
 
"You will find diagrams and pa

"You will find diagrams and part#'s for a 1983 3.8 on BRP.com. There is no Impeller in the lower unit that I have heard of. There is one in the Upper Gearcase though.

"When it overheats on the hose

"When it overheats on the hose, check to make sure your muffs are sealing properly on the outdrive vents. We had the same problem and when we used new muffs it worked just fine.........Good in the water , not to worry. You do need to know where your impeller is though. Get a manual........."
