Hardin Gen7 Sea Water Pump, FYI

[gkuypers]

Well just had a bearing fail on my OEM Sea Water pump, so I'm replacing/replaced it with a Hardin Pump. I figured I'd just get the Hardin Gen7 with the pulley, but as it turns out my pulley is much larger. It seems on my 2008 330DA with Axius the pulley is larger then the Hardin pulley or most Mercruiser. So, just an FYI , so you don't have remove the pump several times, check the pulley before reinstalling.

Hardin & Michigan Motorz were both great to work with and refunded the difference between the Gen7 with Pulley and without ($100.00). Thanks again to both companies and Hardin has even updated the website regarding the pulley not working with Axius motors.
