It looks like the screw on the body of the pump is facing in, which is correct IF he has the (more common) 1.23 trans in his '94.
Any chance you have the old impeller around to try? I think I see the key in the shaft of the pump, so the impeller is probably spinning. Ive heard of impellers becoming separated from the hub though. Is this an OEM sherwood impeller? |

Unless you let your RWP suck water out of a bucket you are just going to continue chasing your tail.

I tried doing a search for "the bucket test" but couldn't find a thread. I feel getting it off the hose and and doing the test may tell alot.

Agreed. If you have the 1.23 transmission, then you have a LH rotation motor. If you have a 1:1 transmission, then you have a RH rotation motor (and in which case, your RWP would be installed upside down). Look at the tag on the transmission, it will tell you the ratio. Or give us an overall picture of the engine- the mounting angle is different between the 2 set ups. Or, give us the serial number off the tag on your intake manifold- it has all that information built in. |

Use the hose at the through hull fitting. Then, the strainer and cooler will be included in the test. |

Any chance your temp gauge or sending unit is bad? Do you have a infrared thermometer to double check?
just a thought... |

Hmmm, so did you figure out if there was a blockage at the hull fitting? Or is it just that the Fake a Lake wasn't doing it's job?
The pulley alignment thing has come up before... It should be in line, but others have said that it's sometimes not in line to start with. |

Leo,
Congratulations on the fix but you never really stated what the problem was. I can't really imagine it was the Fake-a-lake? Post a picture of what you are using. Yes, that RWP is way out of alignment. Somethings up with the bracket. Look into it otherwise you'll be chewing up plenty of belts. |

Leo,
In order to save the pump, you may need to install a thread insert (helicoil) in it. |

A thread insert actually has male and female threads. The female threads match your existing bolt. The stripped hole is drilled and tapped to match the male threads of the thread insert. It's screwed in and you have new threads for your old bolt. |

Leo,
I really can't figure out what the problem was with your Fake-a-lake. By chance did you have it so tight to the hull that it blocked off the water supply? |

Some like the RTV but I HATE it!
![]() There are some cases where the RTV must be used but this isn't one of them. I actually like the old Permatex #2 which is the non hardening. I'm just "old school" but, i have NEVER had a problem with it - yes with RTV!! ![]() |

When I did my thermostat I used some Permatex Hytack to keep it in place.
Is yours just a slow drip or pouring out? I had a slow drip when I first did mine. A couple rounds of snugging up the bolts slowed it down. Then, it kind of worked itself out. I don't know if the gasket had to plump up or a couple hot/cold cycles cured it or what. |

I like permatex av form-a-seal, but that may be the same as #2? And you did prep the mating surfaces?
Check to see if your pump case is stripped or cracked. I had a cracked one...those brass/bronze cases can't take much crankin'. ![]() |

my money is on air leak at thermo housing or at one or more hose connections/clamps
Also my boat shop owning friend has advised me against that type of fake a lake because it can fall away from the hull from you jumping in and out of the boat. I use the type that has a little metal hook that grabs the intake grill and then you push it up and it it "locks" in place tight to hull and won't fall away from boat moving around on trailer/springs. |
