It appears to be locked and needs your permission to unlock and view. However, that doesn't sound good. Check carefully in the pump outlet pipes for the lost vanes. They likely are stuck in the cooling system somewhere and should be removed to ensure good water flow. Check the thermostat housing if they are not immediately apparent in the plumbing. While you are at it, check the anodes if there are some on your engine. A shop manual is an excellent investment. Try ebay or Google up a source. > So my questions are: > (1) - What is the best toothed belt easily obtained as a replacement?

Run the engine to clean the crank pulley and use a portable drill with a socket to drive the pump pulley.

Check to see if you have u-bolt clamp on the cable somewhere along its length. It may be too tight or the cable may be damaged. I would also disconnect the end of the cable at the engine and make sure it is the cable and not the pump. Unlikely, but possible. > Thanks everybody. > > Kevin > s/v Osprey > C&C 30 mkII > > Pic from Thanksgiving: > https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwhcX19YaPJ8QWtlbGE2NzhYRzQ/edit?usp=docslist_api > > Sent from my Tablet > > _______________________________________________ > This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album > http://www.cncphotoalbum.com > CnC-List@cnc-list.com
