- 1982 Island Gypsy 32
Hi all TF'ers,
I recently joined the Island Gypsy club by purchasing a 1982 Flybridge Cruiser. She has been a tad neglected on the cosmetic front, but the 'heart' is in good nick - Lehman 120. A complete service on the main engine, including a new HX, header tank and exhaust elbow. I changed the raw water pump impeller the other day and this is what the thing looked like when I opened the pump.
Is this right?? Temp is holding perfectly well and she's pumping a good amount of water out the pipe. It just seems weird that a round impeller is going in a not so round hole.
Any info and advice will be most welcome.
Cheers. ️
