Ahoy! I replaced the impeller on my MMI raw water pump which has brass quick release thumb screws. Somehow in the process I lost the o-ring -- only to find two spares in the MMI packaging box. Whoo-hoo! When I tried to replace the o-ring, however, the both replacements were larger in circumference that the groove they're supposed to fit in. I placed the o-ring around the groove, secured it in place with some lithium grease, and fired up the engine. Unfortunately the pump wasn't moving any water.
I'm wondering if the o-ring could be the cause of the no-flow, or could it be something else.
I also cleaned out the raw water strainer which was filled with all manner of monkey crap...
Any input is much appreciated!
