Remember, the quicker you shut off the engine, the bigger the chance of the impeller surviving. Get your engine in the water and fire it up. The fastest way of checking if there is any damage to your engine is getting it on the water and fire it up. If you are not close to the water, use the garden hose attachment or the flush muffs to get water to the engine.
Once the engine is running with a water supply, Monitor your gauges and alarms for any out of the ordinary behavior and keep a closed eye on the heat gauge. If anything appears suspicious, turn the engine off right away and have your engine checked by a professional.
There is a possibility that your impeller is damaged and needs to be replaced. Then you might be in luck, and nothing happened to your impeller. You are not supposed to run your boat motor without water, but if for some reason you must, between 2 and 10 seconds is the max time. I know it can seem like a very short time, but believe me, running your engine without water even for short periods of tymes can damage the impeller really quick. How often should a boat impeller be replaced?
Every hours or 3 years, whichever comes first. Get underneath your boat and find the water intake. Once you find the intake, place the cup of your motor flusher over it. You then wedge the motor flusher between the bottom of your boat and the ground, this is how you secure the motor flusher in place.
Double-check and make sure that the motor flusher is firmly in place. You do not want it coming loose when the engine is turned on. Next, check to see that the water is flowing out of the motor flusher. Turn it back off after checking. Prepare your engine.
Remember, you must not turn it on yet. Just get it ready first. Once the water is flowing, only then should you turn the engine on. Also, keep your engine on neutral. Always wear a right-sized, U. Coast Guard-approved life jacket. Protect against propeller strikes. Carry safety equipment on board. Make a float plan. Don't boat under the influence BUI.
On at least some diesel powered boats mine included the need for the blower is to bring in fresh air that the engine can use for combustion. Generally, depending on the thermostat installed, the temperature should sit between and degrees Fahrenheit which is between 80 and 90 degrees Celcius.
To start, turn key on, depress neutral button and pump full throttle once or twice. This sets the choke. Pull throttle back to nearly neutral and crank engine. It should fire up. If it is in the 'off' position, your boat will not start no matter what you do. Make sure that your boat is in neutral. Generally, this will be with the shift lever in the up position, or the middle position between reverse and forward.
To start, you should remove the engine cover completely. Change the Engine Oil. Change the Oil Filter. Recharge the Battery. Refuel Your Boat. Check the Cooling System.
