I did the impeller today... No success. The impeller was badly burned to the water pump housing and unfortunately i only bought the impeller I did what i could with getting all the rubber out of the housing and i think it turned out pretty good. But i still couldn't get flow through the head of the engine. I tried first with the water ears and once in the garbage can, both with no success. I took off the bottom end after each attempt to see how the impeller was doing and it was fine. I did have water coming out through where the exhaust comes out and when i used the hose i could get water to flow through the engine and the lower unit (eliminating the chance of a clog somewhere. So i'm thinkin it has to do with the housing for the impeller or the gasket inside the housing (they must have gotten really hot when that impeller melted like that). Any ideas or thoughts? thanks lovetofish

thanks a bunch guys!

Just went out to try to tune my boat because it wasn't running quiet right. And noticed i had no water flow out the back of the engine. So i took off the two covers for the water inlets and saw little pieces of rubber (which i assume is the water pump fins). Does anyone know where the water pump is or how i get to it. I am mechanically inclined so i'm pretty sure i can do it myself with a little guidance. ps. i have a trip planned for sunday, so i'm hard pressed for time Thanks guys. lovetofish

Thanks for the comments guys. lovetofish

Decided to head to Toronto Island with a good friend of mine, to see if we could get into some of the pike action we've all been hearing about. We just missed the fairy by five minutes, so we ended up catching the 11 O'clock fairy to the island. And it wasn't until after we went to get a slice of pizza, that we got into some action. Since we had never been there before we were trying to cover lots of water. As soon as we got to the water after lunch, first cast for both of us and two fish landed and released. Mine being my second biggest pike(guessing around 34") and my buddy with a little hammer handle. As soon as we moved down a little further we got another two small pike and that was it for the day. My buddy and I were both very impressed with the fishing and the scenery there and hope to be able to go back soon. Here is some of my pics. My second biggest pike A little guy And some of the scenery Thanks for checking out my report! Lovetofish

I was out by the narrows today... Saw a few jumbos mixed in with huge schools of smaller ones... Seems like you have to fish through the smaller ones to get into the jumbos. lovetofish

Nice report, pics and fish.
