I had that problem one year. I had to turn up the RPMs to about 2000 and
it started sucking. So try increasing engine speed.

Hi, I was winterizing my Yanmar diesel and it starting to suck the
antifreeze from the bottle that I had put the water inflow hose in. I
switched to a new bottle and it stopped and I couldn't get it to start
again. I replaced the impeller and was pouring AF into the input hose but
still couldn't get it to take it in. Is there a way to prime the system
that I am not aware of. I have replace the impeller before and never had
this problem.
Thanks,
Tom Talling

Hi Tom,
As your boat is close to mine in number (1006) assume the 3YM30?
I had trouble with mine, and turns out the water pump belt wasn?t turning
the pump as it was too loose. I would check that first.
>From your description, it sounds like you are taking the bottle to the aft
cabin, disconnecting the raw water hose from the thru hull. I have never
done that so cannot speak to if that may be the issue. What you may want to
do, is cut the raw water hose about 8 inches back, and install the Prestone
Flush N Fill kit. Essentially you are installing a T junction where you can
open the cap, and fill from right in front of the water pump. The nice
thing about that, is if you are having trouble, you can use a hose to fill
from the cockpit, allowing gravity to help.
I don?t have pictures of mine, but I can tell you it works. Let me know if
you need further information.

Hi Tom,
That is a great question. I never used to have that problem but the past
several years I have. In fact, I am just getting back from doing that this
morning on the boat.
I pour the anti-freeze into the strainer with a funnel. One thing I noticed
is that the water line to the engine leaves the strainer near the top of the
strainer, so if the fluid level in the strainer drops below that level it
does not seem to draw/come out the exhaust. So then I top off the strainer.
I also seem to have better luck getting the water/anti-freeze to draw again
if I start the engine at a higher RPM. After a few starts I got it to flow
just fine.
Maybe neither of those things has bearing on it and I just got lucky through
persistence. I will be curious to see what the more technically minded have
to say?.

I have a T in my hose for sucking in antifreeze. Assuming that you are
adding antifreeze after the boat is out of the water, be sure to close the
thru hull or it will be sucking air. (You guess how I know about that.)
