I was poking around the bilge getting acquainted and noticed this rusty looking spot and a slightly rusty raw water pump pulley on the port engine. Looked over at the stbd and it was perfect and painted with no stain beneath...
Start the engines and check again and spotted a water droplet forming at the spot with the arrow. I haven't looked into it much further so I'm not certain where the water is originating from. If it's from the pump, what's going bad? The bearing? Spoke to a few people with the same pump and they have not encountered this. Anyone have a raw water pump fail/leak?
