Default Cooling Problem w/ 4.3 GL vovlo I/O

Ran it on the trailer without the muffs, huh? 'Bout the only way an
impeller will just self-destruct right after launch (it's already fried
before launch...). You're F***ed now. The core plugs (erroneously called
freeze plugs)are leaking or popped out. For whatever reason. The gist of
your posts indicates you don't have working knowledge of the problem
you're facing. Get a pro to fix it.

I have a 2000 Glastron with a 4.3 lt. GL Volvo I/O. Last season the
impeller self destructed. I had not had a chance to replace the
impeller until today. (boat was put away in my garage for the winter)
I had replaced the impeller today but cannot get the water to flow
correctly. the water pump itself is functioning correctly but the
water is coming out of holes (approx. 1" in dia) on the motor under the

manifolds (both sides of the mtor). This water must be removed with
the bilage pump. What is causing this discharge of water from the
motor? It isn't the drain.... Any asistance would be greatly
appreciated. I would like to get this boat back on the water for my
kids.
