Water pump

Yea...after seeing your pump that is not the right one. I am not sure which one is correct. Who marinized the engine?

Paul look at the top of this page.

Do you know who built the engine? Pleasure Craft Marine(PCM), Commander?

Paul,   In order to find an impeller for that pump, you have to ask for a Volvo impeller.   They, (Volvo) still use the splined pump shaft.
It's the gaskets that have become next to impossible to find.   I make my own.
The alternative would be a new brass pump, which is very expensive and the pump mount base has to be altered so that you can use your same pulley.

Go2marine has a couple: 5/8 is Drive type 7... 2" depth, .....we'll see

wow, plenty to choose from when you know what you're looking for...

THANKS again

I'm still curious as to who's marinization it is.

BTW, it would be common to find almost everything painted from the marinizer. Don't assume it was a PO with a aerosol can of paint. It was common practice for them to bolt on all the marine parts and spray everything. Typically the only exception would be the carb, distributor, plugs and wires.

Correct Craft has never marinized their own engines. At least not on the 60's and newer boats (someone else more knowledgable can speak to the older ones). They now get their engines from Pleasurecraft Marine (PCM). They used to get engines from Commander, Chrysler, Interceptor, OMC, etc. Conquerer/Crusaders and Palmers were closely related in the early 70's, as they were owned by Thermo Electron at the time (Dr CC will correct me if I goof that up again).

Marinization companies usually design and install their own cooling, ignition and exhaust systems, as well as the brackets used to mount accessories. They generally include the transmission as part of the powertrain package as well. Most of these items (thermostat housings, brackets, exhaust manifolds) were unique between the different companies. It sounds like you have a Palmer, but a picture would confirm.

There were Thermo-Electron Conqueror Crusaders, right? Not sure if thats consistent with what you just said or not.



Here's what Im calling a Palmer... note the same thermostat housing and "Model 220" decals. I had thought that both Palmer and Conquerer Crusader were Thermo Electrons.

Never to my knowledge as well. My 54 is actually a Chris marinization painted red (not Chris blue) and tagged as a Correct Craft. It's just a "private labeling".

Yep it looked mostly like the Palmer pictured above. It wont when I'm done tho:
Photobucket pics for my first engine build

I'll add some pics this weekend, been busy.

Photobucket ain't the best but right click and "open link in new tab" for a better look at a pic.
