raw water pump

[mjohnh]

I had a telephone conversation with a mechanic, today about parts to change out my timing belt and he volunteered that I should check my
raw water pump. He then volunteered that he pump cannot be "rebuilt" with new seals, etc, ......anyone have experience with this???

Assuming it's a 6lp yanmar then the raw water pump can be easily rebuilt. I've recently rebuilt three and there is a thread here on the boards with pictures and instructions. If he means the fresh water pump, that's a different matter as it is probably behind the cam belt so not easy to get to.

Thanks...he specifically referred to the pump that supplies engine cooling water........I have parts sources that agree with you.......
