    No Water Cooling!

    Ok Guys Need some help, I'II work on the drifting to the left after I figure this one out.
    When I was running everything stock, I had water shooting out the side, now after some mods nothing!
    Here is what I have done, removed battery tray's and lowered ESC. After I did these mods I had no water going through the cooling system, but noticed maybe the water line going from the ESC to the motor had a small bend in it and thought that was the issue. So after looking at some pic's of the same mods on this site noticed that some guys have siwtched the intake and out put lines on the ESC. I changed the water in to water out (to motor) and water out to water in from rudder. Does it really madder?
    Any ways even before witching the lines I had nothing going through the water lines and coming out the side of the boat. Could something from lowering the COG have caused the pick up on the rudder to no longer pick up water and force it through the system?
    Any ideas?
    This is a real bummer as I just started vacation with the family and have a camp site right on the water!!

    forgot to add that I can blow through the lines and air and left over water will still come out the side of the boat.

      First can you blow air through the hose and cooling system easily? If not the cooling jacket on the BJ motor slides off. its kinda tough at first i used a little vasaliene when i got it off to get it back on. I had a small piece of a leaf in mine and couldnt even blow through it. also with the esc make sure you can blow air easily through it. if u cannot then u have a clog there. Take a can of wd40 with the plastic tube and stick it inside both hose nipples and spray it out and rinse with water to get the oils and stuff out. If u have a free flowing system then its somewhere in your water pickup on the outside of the hull. Hope this helps

        I've put a needle valve from my air compressor in the intake on the rudder and can blow a tissue off the side of the boat at the water out let.

          Got it! You where right WrknItUp, something was inside the cooling jacket on the motor. When we got back home from vacation and I had time to really look at it, I could see something dark down inside the intake nipple, used my compressed to blow from the water exist nipple, and that blew what ever it was out.
          Thanks again for the help guys!
