Guys I have a drip on the inlet of my impeller housing. I changed my hose out and put a new hose clamp on but it still drips. any ideas why it would still drip? Is something going bad? Thanks, Tony.

Tony,
Look real close at the RWP. The drip may be coning from the shft seal. If so, you will need to rebuild the pump by installing new bearings and a seal.

Pete, if this seal is shot... How long can I run on it? Going to green lake Friday. It just started leaking. I could get parts from SkiDim in a day or so and rebuild but hate to rush on this before a big weekend. Also don't want to break down. Thanks, Tont.

My seal has been leaking in my comp for the 6 or so years. I bought the parts to fix it this just haven't gotten around to it. Is it a drip like every couple of seconds? Mine drips about a drip every 1~2 sec I believe...


Also,,, What happened to the site? Noticed:
1.) that not as many posts per page
2.) No more quick reply
3.) No more emoticons

Whats up??

No rush, get the parts and bring them with you. There will be plenty of help there.

Ok I'll get the parts coming. Yeah it drips pretty good. More like a drip every couple seconds. I don't think it's too serious but I want it to be dry.
Yeah i seen the site shut down. Then it came back up in a different format. ??. Thanks, Tony.

Tony,
As mentioned, you are fine to continue boating. There really is no such thing as a dry bilge. Go and enjoy GL. When you disassemble the pump, look real close at the shaft area where the seal rides.
