Hey man thanks for the reply , yes there is a sea strainer I believe which when I opened it up was only quarter full, so I checked the hoses and they was dry so I turned my attention to the impeller , removed to find it in pieces again , , the inlet valve (sea cock) has a hose to the sea strainer , out of there to the impeller then pumped into the engine , I believe there’s another hose on a t section before the sea strainer which goes out the back of the boat ?
