Update; replaced impeller and
Update; replaced impeller and O-ring and pumped fine from bucket in bilge with engine running. Problem was mostly the Globe dry-run impeller (used only 2 short seasons). Think I'll switch from Sherwood pulley driven pump to Johnson crank driven pump. So would like info on how to do and what model pump. Looks like I did damage the AQ280 exhaust bellows flapper when I ran engine briefly w/o water thru manifold/risers last week; metal flapper support came out with exhaust upon startup this am.
Looks to me like I can change exhaust bellows w/o pulling upper gear hosuing if I tilt I/O way up. True??
