I have a squirtgun-size stream of water leaking just below the seawater pump of my 1995 270DA when the engine is running. In looking closer at the pump there is a 1" crack in the housing of the pump(not the outer plate, but the body itself) right in line with the lowest bolt. I can't help but think that it wasn't winterized properly, what a bummer.
The motor is still running at normal temps so it is still getting plenty of water. Am I correct in saying that this housing is plastic, not metal? I checked online and my local mercrusier shop & both are saying that the main pump body is no longer available & that the only alternative is to replace the whole pump. That pump assembl is not cheap
Anyone encounter this situation before? Just wondering if there are any adhesives that could be applied to close this leak.
Thanks in Advance,
