Greetings,
I have a question to offer for interesting responses. Some will recall or note that I made inquiry on raw water pump (Jabsco 11850-0701) recently. From the responses I have ordered the replacement pump (Sherwood H5) from sources given, Thanks for that. Let me add that the supplier has been most helpful and I am comfortable with the order. Whether or not the current pulley can be adapted remains to be seen, my son can adapt it or I order the after market pulley from this same supplier.
In the meanwhile, the thought came across the old brain that if in deed I lost the use of the current pump while all of this replacement effort is in play, could I adapt my 6 gpm Jabsco water puppy pump into the raw water system between the engine and the sea water filter unit? The question is if the water puppy has enough 'humph' to push the water through the engine to the exhaust outlet. Or, could one plumb the water puppy directly to the exhaust elbow and would the engine handle cooling without the raw water going through the exchanger? Any thoughts? I don't mind being yelled at if I am way off base.
