Last time I went out I noticed the RWP had a leak at the shaft area...little drops leaked to the bilge...not much...the leak became weaker to completely stop as the engine got warmer...
So looks like a I need a rebuilt... Looks like I need to order a couple of bearings and a seal kit!!! ...The bearing itself, you know if its specific or I can have it matched locally If I go with the old one? ------------- <a href="">1992 ski nautique |

When you take it apart, pay attention to the order and direction of each part. I would take the bearing to an auto parts store and let them measure and see if they have a match. The bearing in my Sherwood pump is the same size as a throw out bearing on a clutch for a car. So yours should be a standard bearing, nothing that was specially made. ------------- Tim D |

Seb,
All bearings have a ISO number on them. Even though a bearing may have the same OD, bore and width, there are several different versions/materials of seals, shields of a combination of both. Go to a power transmission distributor if the auto supply can't cross it exactly by the ISO number. A throw out bearing for a car may get you in trouble!!  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Yes, you need a special marine bearing, with special coatings etc. that will cost 10 times what it should cost. My chit bearing has been working since 1993. ------------- Tim D |

Kap, you'll do fine as long as you use quality parts for either the seals or the bearings. What you need to inspect closely is the pump's shaft is not worn or pitted were the seal and bearings ride, if so you can have it repaired or have a new one made.
Honestly, If I were you I'd wait until the dripping is persistant, it's not uncommon for pumps to leak now with the cold water running inside. You could have it completely rebuilt before summer session. How's the temp gauge? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2095" rel="nofollow - 1980 Ski Nautique Commander 351W |

i searched and searched for a m88043 timken and the Bonerzone found one for me, easy number but 3 to 4 days away with my normal suppliers, i'll have it this morning to complete the additive filled ZF 630, i love those fcn additives, they account for my vacation fund every year, and the college fund lol, quite surprised to see a 630v in a 40 foot boat ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" |

So you really needo to move around...  ------------- <a href="">1992 ski nautique |

When mine started leaking, it eventually got worse and started slinging water up to the flame arrestor. ------------- Tim D |

4K worth for two taper cups and cones: 
Bearings we use are typically not expensive and there isn't a "marine" specific bearing that costs 10 times as much unless you shop for them at a marina. The ISO # is the key.
