Thanks Jimmy. Great link and brilliant idea. Why they don't just make these pumps out of SS in the first place is beyond me. I'm guessing they need them to fail so they can make $$ selling new ones. I'm going to replace both pump assemblies in the meantime since I want to get out this weekend and can't wait for parts (Friend has the new pumps already), return the old pumps still under warranty (replaced in March this year), and do the SS plate mod over the winter.
Thanks again!
Glad to be of assistance. It's a rather simple solution which could have easily been incorporated into the original assembly if they insisted on keeping the brass housing vs stainless. Happy boating!
