Force 15 hp water pump questions
I bought a 1995 15 hp Force outboard that is not pumping water thru the pee hole. I took off the cover and discovered a thermostat. I removed it but still no flow. I dropped the lower unit and pulled the water pump. I could tell that someone had been there before me. There were no gaskets when I took it off which I found strange. I looked up a pump kit on the net and it had no gaskets in the kit so maybe normal? The impeller looked like new. But what I noticed was that it was installed in a clockwise position. I just rebuilt a Johnson water pump and in was installed counter-clockwise. Could this be the problem? Oh, I blew air threw the pee hole and got air out at the intake screens so I don't think there is a blockage anywhere. Thanks, Bill
