I own a 2004 Searay 280 Dancer. In a couple months I will be putting her on the dry dock for maintenance. During this time, I will be removing both Mercruiser outdrives and have them repainted, replace both u-joints, oil seals and check for bent shafts. I was also thinking about adding an engine driven water pump. Presently the cooling water comes from the outdrives. Can the impellers be removed in the outdrives? and install allow the new engine driven water pump to pull water from the outdrive. The boat does not have an extra seacock.
Has anyone had any luck with this?
