Installed 2 new Drives one side is getting Little if any water flow. At first I figured it was the impellar but it looked ok but put a new one in anyway and still no flow ...Only thing I can figure is the hose in the Transom Assy or the barbed fitting inside .... I checked the Transom end of the hose when we hard the inside barb off and was ok ... Either we crimped the hose or maybe cracked the barb and its sucking air? ...This Drive has Duel water pickups ...m

Take the suction hose off the water pump and put some air pressure into it. See if pressure builds (hose in a bind, clogged water inlet) or find a leak by sound.

Good Idea .....

Dual water pick ups you should cover the the holes in the frount on the drive and did you check the o ring's when you installed the drives you may be sucking air .

Found the problem .. The hose from the drive to the Transom is crimped .....We replaced the bellhousing too and I remember pulling the hose out of its little "niche" when I was installing the Bellows on the Transom end ...Hopefully thats all it is ...m
