I thought I'd get the jump on next seasons Spring commissioning things to do, and did a water pump change today. This is the first time I'm doing it on this boat, and actually the first non-outboard impeller I have done.
I wound up with the extra unused parts shown in the photo. One concern is the water tube that slips down into the plastic guide tube. I didn't see any washers or gaskets when I removed it. Are there any gaskets or washers needed here? One of the spare parts is a rubber seal, and I'm wondering if that was supposed to fit on the water tube, coming down from the upper gear case. Also, there is a metal compression pin that I didn't use. Where does that go?
If I have to re-do this job, I'm thinking I'll replace the entire unit. I removed the lower case and the center rubber ring didn't look very good. I bought the minimal kit, without the upper or lower case. Thanks for any advice.....
