- 2XMercruiser 8.1 Inboard
2007 sea Ray 340 with 8.1 horizon engines. Yesterday about 20 minutes into a run out, the smart craft goes off and pulls back to idle. I had the engines shut down within a few seconds. Limped back in on starboard engine (that was a fun parking job, thank the lord I have a bow thruster).
Opened hatch and found this mess. Serpentine belt was shredded and pump pulley was laying in the bilge.
Removed pum. And found I impeller intact (I needed to change it this season) and pump housing was scored at either end of the impeller. The inside of the housing was fine.
So the pump looks to be toast but my question is has anyone seen this type of failure? Should it be blamed on old impeller?
Thanks
