Does the outdrive have to be removed? I can see the hose going into the transom, but in the engine compartment there is a just some sort of a junction box where the inboard hose connects. I've found a couple of manuals online, but I haven't found much help. Regardless, I would like to replace this hose, but I'm not sure how to get to it. I'm pretty sure this hose must be below the water line when on the lake, so I suppose the pump is still able to do it's job. It seems like this could have been preventing pickup from the water tub, but I would like some confirmation of this. The exhaust and U-joint bellows were both replaced just before I bought the boat, but the raw water hose connected to the outdrive looks pretty bad and I suspect it may be leaking. I can hear water inside the raw water pump when I squeeze the hoses, so the impeller probably had enough water for lubrication, but I've already bought another impeller since I had planned to replace it anyway (preventative maintenance). I noticed that no water was coming out the exhaust so I killed the engine. The engine runs cool on the lake, but I started it for a couple of minutes last week at home with the outdrive submerged in a big rubber tub. My main question for now though is about replacing the raw water intake hose. ![]() I haven't changed the fuel filter yet, but I'm wondering if the fuel pump might be getting weak. It's a little bit hard starting when cold, but fine after that. We've taken it out a couple of times (less than 30 minutes each time) just to practice and to hear it run.Įverything seems pretty good, and it runs very well. ![]() I've been going through it trying to determine condition as well as to learn how everything works. I recently purchased a 1989 Cobalt 21BR with a Volvo Penta AQ271C and a duoprop outdrive (DP-A I believe).
