Problem water pump Yanmar 2GM
In article ,
"Jeffrey P. Vasquez" wrote: Hello all, I recently did a standard maintenance replacement of a raw water impeller on a Yanmar 2GM diesel. Everything seemed straightfoward, part for part, no leakage, everything went back together straight away and test runs at the dock were nominal. However, during a move to a new slip the engine alarm went off. A subsequent check revealed nothing. Took the boat out and ran the engine for a good hour and there were no issues. The second time out the engine alarm went off again after about the same duration of running time as the incident during the move to the new slip. This time there was no curing it. I dismantled everything upstream and downstream of the water pump and it appears there is no flow through the water pump even though everything appears to be functioning exactly as it's supposed to. The impeller is fine, the belt tension and pulley function are fine and there are no blockages from the through-hull to its egress. The boat is a 1989 S2. I am stumped. Any suggestions would be infinitely appreciated. Thanks, One thing to check isif the shaft that drives the impeller is in one piece. I had a JABSCO where the shaft was made in two parts that were pressfit together. Water leaked thru a failed seal and corroded the shaft connection to the point that the pressfit connection failed. Pully turned, but impeller didn't. I found it by turning over the engine with the pump faceplate off and watching the impeller itself. Bruce in alaska -- add a 2 before @ |
