My unloaded NextGen keeps tripping offline for what I believe is a cooling water problem. Symptom: no cooling water flow seen exiting to sea from salt water side. Action taken: my diver cleaned the inlet guard on the hull, stuck a wire brush up into the inlet, felt no obvious blockage. with generator off, opened strainer and confirmed sea water was flowing out of strainer and into bilge. closed inlet valve, cleaned strainer. Replaced impeller, replaced impeller belt. Started generator and it tripped off repeatedly after 2-3 minutes. Confirmed no sea water exiting. I haven't taken apart the hoses downstream of the cooling pump, that's my next step. Am I missing something obvious? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
