I have twin Volvo Penta TMAD 60C 250 hp Diesel engines. They are 1986 vintage and the water pumps are not leaking or making noises, With the belts off they hand turn with no resistance, rough feel, or play. I just don't trust them.
We are docked in Marathon Fl for a while so I want to try and find a rebuilder that will work with them. These are the coolant circulating pumps, Not the raw water pumps that I have already reconditioned. Found a company in Detroit that says he will but is not sure. Found another in Fl that says send them and he will see if he can???? I would rather have some one that has done this and more with experience.
Depco will not rebuild coolant circulating pumps, they only do sea water pumps.
If I had a press I would do it myself, it is not rocket science. I have rebuilt water pumps before. I have ordered the seals and such from Volvo I just don't want to spend $1200 each for new pumps.
Has anyone had this work done and can advise me?
Thank you,
