Operating (Post-Installation Check)

After installing the water pump repair kit, it is crucial to perform a functional check to ensure proper operation and cooling.

1. Provide Water Supply: Connect a garden hose to the flushing attachment on your outboard, or submerge the lower unit in a test tank or barrel filled with water. Ensure the water intake grates are fully submerged.
2. Arrancar el motor: Engegueu el motor i deixeu-lo girar al ralentí.
3. Check for Water Flow: Observe the tell-tale (pilot water discharge) stream. A strong, steady stream of water indicates the water pump is functioning correctly. If there is no stream, a weak stream, or intermittent flow, shut off the engine immediately.
4. Monitoritzar la temperatura del motor: Allow the engine to run for a few minutes while monitoring the temperature gauge (if equipped) or warning lights. The engine should maintain a normal operating temperature.
5. Inspeccionar si hi ha fuites: Visually inspect the area around the lower unit and water pump for any signs of water or oil leaks.
