Thanks Baker. The family and I were just down there in your backyard for Spring Break. Took in the Southwest International Boat Show, Houston Space Center....... Great area!


"bshanafelt If you have an M71 Sherwood pump, it will do well for 700 hrs or so before needing seals or a rebuild. Fairly easy with a press. I carry a complete unit aboard to swap if needed"

bshanafelt; That's what I was thinking. This is a M71 pump. One of the reasons for swapping engines is to get the boat ready for a cruise from SF Bay to Alaska next year. I don't have a spare pump, so I need get one. People on Boat Diesel recommend the Tony Athens/Seaboard Marine replacement. I will be installing a low water flow sensor to make sure I don't cook the engine.
