[C320-list] Yanmar Problem

[Paul Rickman]

Joe,

Since you are out of the water try this: Put a funnel in the intake hose and 
pour from the bucket.
As you do this, pick up the RPM's to about 1500.

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.
