The old impeller was missing 2 splines when I pulled it. Found one in the exit port of the pump, the other wedged in the hose between pump & Hx. Removed those last fall. This morning I pulled the end cap off the Hx to see if I missed any pieces. Hx was clear.
Discouraged, I stared at the damn thing with my hands in my coat pockets - wait a minute...what's this out from my pocket comes the wear plate I completely forgot to install .
Reassembled and voila...water
If anyone needs a village idiot, I'm available

Re: ONAN Raw Water Pump Will Not Prime
Hey.....join the club! We all do things like that, but we're not big enough to admit it. Just glad you got it fixed.

A very large club of which I could easily be President. We usually make these mistakes doing something we have done a thousand times before and our complacency makes us thoughtless.

Re: ONAN Raw Water Pump Will Not Prime
There's an old cartoon in French which shows a dachshund wound around a tree, sniffing his own butt. The caption reads: "Zut alors! c'est moi!" which means "well, whaddya know! it's me".
Or, as Pogo said, "we have met the enemy and he is us"....we've all been there.
