Hi!
I need to change the lip seal on my port engines raw water pump. In theory it is an easy job but I would like to ask if someone here has done the same (my first time)?
The main question I have is that do I need to remove the whole pump or can I change them through the impeller housing? The part that I need to change is numer 9 on the drawing.
If I remove the whole pump I could check the shaft etc, but I really dont want to take the hoses off if I can avoid it. It's nearly the end of the season and I would like to get it fixed now and do a deeper analysis and do pre-emptive maintenance to to other pump as well once the boat is at the hard.
Naturally the seacock is already closed but if take the pump off do I need to plug the pump-to engine hose as well?
