- Sweet Cummins 6CTA 8.3
I HAD a problem with my raw water pump on a Cummins 8.3 that I have NEVER seen discussed anywhere. I started the boat and it never started to pump water. I looked into the bilge and I had probably 5-10 gallons of water water in the containment bilge. After trying to figure out where exactly the water was coming from I decided I had to take off the aftercooler to get close enough to see it (has anyone guessed which engine by now). I removed the top aftercooler water hose and the air hose for more room to look around and search. When I got the impeller cover off I noticed the cam inside the housing was moved out of its normal position. I removed the impeller and the cam and found a the bolt that holds the cam to the housing was broken. so a $5 dollar bolt caused me approx 4-5 hours of crap work. Replacing the impeller, keyway, o ring blind with one hand was sooo much fun. I am really glad it didn't happen away from the dock.
Happy boating!
