Engine not drawing water

[DDL]

Hi all! I have a 2004 XLV with the Indmar 340. We had a great summer with no issues and the boat ran great. I was going to winterized it today by adding RV antifreeze after draining the block and blowing out the lines. Did the usual pulling off of the raw water inlet hose and attaching another hose into a large bucket of antifreeze. Started the engine and in previous years, it has sucked up the antifreeze pretty quick. This time...nothing. Put the water inlet hose back on, hooked up the garden hose to the snorkel on the belly and fired it up again. Ran great but no water coming out the exhaust. Checked the belt and pulled the impeller - both in good shape.

Any ideas as to what I’m missing or what might be wrong?

Thanks
Kevin

Once you drain the water, make sure everything is connected properly and clamps are tight.

Probably air trapped in the line and not allowing it to prime.

Put some anti-freeze in the line.

Someone else was just posting a lout the same issue.

A clamp must be loose, its sucking air
