Thank you STee6043. This is what I was thinking. Looks like it would be easier to pull the motor. I appreciate your comments.
Ha! Sorry... didn't mean to laughFor what I ended up paying...it's possible that's what they did. ha.
It is not fun job. If you do it mark one hose on the water pump and what port on water pump it came from, mark one of the three bolt locations holding the pump to the bracket and same on pump and UP arrow on water pump. Then transfer marks to new pump. The bolts holding the pump together are different lengths make sure to put them all back in same place. I take lots of cell phone pictures of any thing I do on boat before I start work that way I can figure out how it goes back together. If it has not been done recently hoes will be very stuck to pump. Once you remove rad clamps use channel lock plyers to twist hose back and forth to break the bond. Once loose see if you can get hose off when pump is still attached to engine. There is a lip on pump that old hoses hang up on. I use a small pry bar to force the hose off. Have beer available upon completion. It takes me about an hour.Northern, thank you. Is charging out the complete pump a major job. It looks like a tight place to reach.
I have a spare pump. I swap out the existing pump with the new one then change the impeller on the one I took out. I do this because water pumps fail and if you do not have a spare it can be a long way home on one engine. To change the impeller in place is a lot of work. So you land up taking it out so a spare is a quick and simple solution.
