Here yeah go http://www.skidim.com/prodinfo.asp?number=R047111 Don't forget to apply the 10% "USA" discount I thought you might be out of luck trying to buy it without the impeller, but I guess they sell it. As far as shipping, Karen has told me before that small stuff like that they can put in an envelope, so shipping would be cheaper than what the online store says.

thanks!

got 2 new o-rings on the way!

Did you get a Sherwood kit or the Sierra? The later has been known to have issues. It's pretty much a junk off shore "knock off". Stick with the OEM.

Dimensions? Do you have a tape measure?

Use your old oring. Don't tighten the bolts too much. Same with the mount bolts.

I have a Sherwood like the one above. The kit I had came with the paper gaskets, and found one that fit on the same mating surface as the o ring. I used it but it's probably not doing anything. Doesn't seem to be hurting anything though.

If the impeller is new, it probably doesn't matter. I'd be hesitant to flip around an impeller that already has it's vanes set like that. My old one had set vains, and all sort of tiny cracks in the vanes. It looked like it wouldn't like to start going the other way. Of course, just put in a new one anyway.

Does not matter.

Small flat blade screw points out on a RR engine.

guys, quick question here. I just remove my impeller and found exactly what is shown on picture #3 here. most impeller kits I saw online have the o-ring AND gasket. is the gasket required, or is it just to accommodate other pumps as well?

and also what / where is that wear plate?!

thanks

thanks

Yes, White Lake's Graham, NC location had a fire and they moved that store to Belews Creek, NC. This a Lake that is North of Greensboro, NC. They still have their main store in White Lake, NC.

In picture number three is the impeller upsidedown?

That impeller looks bad.

Is it a RH or LH rotation?

If it is RH the screw should point away from the block.
