I have a Maxum 2100SD with a Mercruiser 5.0 MPI Alpha engine, with a closed cooling system. The impeller on the engine mounted sea pump failed. I removed the pieces of the fins from the hose up to the power steering cooler, but am not sure if there is more further down the line. The next stop along the path is the check valve, which is located on the bottom, port side of the engine, near the transom, and is relatively inaccessible. The check valve prevents me from back flushing the line from the heat exchanger.
How can I be sure all the bits and pieces of the impeller have been removed? Where is the likely spot for the debris to end up? How can I remove it?
Thanks for any suggestions.
