Just got off the phone with White lake Marine

Purchased a new impeller and i had a question about the paper gasket. Their response was that I didnt need the paper gasket since i had a PCM motor.   

Whats up with that?

Agreed, I thought the explanation was a bit short, but last time I bought an impeller I didn’t get any gaskets (just the o-ring).

Come to find out, I do need to purchase this gasket which got damaged in the disassembly.

It goes on the opposite side of the brass plate

O ring= gasket impeller directions

So this one:

is a little thicker than the paper ones, right?

The kit I bought was this:

and included paper ones. I used one of them, but I'd say they were only a little thicker than wax paper or something.

That ski dim one seems like more of a thin cork material. Don't remember even seeing that, but there could subtle differences in these Sherwood pumps year to year.

BTW: Ski Dim does claim that they'll work with you on the shipping of small items. I ordered a (very small) dash breaker switch for about $20 that had another $10 shipping charge according to the site. Karen had told me another time that they keep an eye on the really small items and will put them in a USPS envelope if they can. I'll find out if that's the case.
