Merc 110 Impeller
I recently received a '67 Merc 110. It has been stored for 30 years and is essentially new, probably less than 15 hours on it. I have started at the top and worked down. It starts easy but when I first started it, I noticed no water coming out of the tell tell hole. I removed the lower unit and opened the water pump and of course the impeller needed changing. I removed it and did not go back with the new impeller for a week. Like a dummy, I forgot to make note which way the blades were cupped. I put them in cupped to the left and when I finally got everything stabbed and lined up, it didn't pump water when I started it. I had a couple of bubbles come out of the tell tell hole but that was it, so I shut it down. I built me a flush hose and I have good flow coming out the hole and also down at the lower unit. I think possibly I guess wrong as far as which way the blades were cupped. I am going to take it back apart this weekend and try again. I haven't been able to find anything that shows which way the blades should be cupped. Can someone give me some guidance?
Thanks
