Went to winterize my Atomic "bomb". Disconnected the hose from the
thru-hull and stuck it in a jug of anti-freeze like I always do and started
the motor. This time it didn't suck up the antifreeze. No doubt the
raterfratzin pump again. So I order the latest and greatest from Moyer -
marvel over the improvements awhile - then spend hours lying on the cabin
sole working through a small access port to install it. Ahh ... that'll fix
it for good -- NOT. MFr still don't suck. So I disconnect the short hose
between the thermostat and exhaust manifold (like I should have done before
buying a new pump) and start the motor. Presto - antifreeze all over the
cabin! Replace that hose and remove the one from the manifold into the
exhaust mixer. Got water there too but none into the exhaust. That's
plugged solid! Anybody seen that one and know how to fix it?


Vito.

Ever hear of back pressure?
Where is your exhaust vented? Below water? Close to waterline. Do you
have a rise to prevent water from coming up the exhaust? Do doubt it's
plugged unless your neighbor stuck a potato up your exhaust. You need
a blow hard like Bob to test the system.

Most people drain the system then fill it without starting the engine
and using the pump. After its filled then run to stir. Shezzzzeeee.
