[C320-list] Yanmar Problem

[Joseph Aberdale]

Thanks for your responses. I inspected the impeller after I started  
it.  There are no missing vanes or cracks. There are no air leaks in  
the line.  I think water is getting to the pump because the large  
clear plastic filter in the line is filled with water. The boat is on  
the hard. I have the water intake hose disconnected from the thru  
hull and in a pail of water about six inches higher than the pump.
