I'm planning on replacing my seawater impellers this winter. I spoke to Mercruiser customer service who said the only thing available that is typically replaced for my serial numbers are the impellers and the associated o-rings.
I know the pump housings are plastic. She said the housing is not typically replaced unless there are groves in it from wear.
I'm not doubting their expertise but I thought there was a kit available that provided the impeller, o-ring, and the plastic housing. She said the only way I could get the housing was essentially to replace the entire pump (@$350). I'm not sure if I need a housing or not but figured if there was a way to transfer the bearings, seals, shaft, etc to a new housing I'd go forward and do it.
Please let me know if others have had heard otherwise.
Thanks!
