[C38] Raw water pump

[Max soto]

I don't know about the Sherwood, but our Oberdorfer pumps are the easiest to repair, since they don't have any sealed ball bearings, just to seals and that's it. Nothing else. Replace the seals, and you are good to go. I think that you might be able to pull the shaft just by pulling the impeller. The only circlip is right next to the front of the shaft, against the impeller... Is way too easy. Give it  a try to disassemble it before you buy the new one. The seal kit is around $40.

> Thanks Max that's where we are buying the pump. My guys don't repair if under 200 new since the rate is 90 per hour. Never tried to fix one maybe I will take the old one and try to repair and sell on e-bay. By the way the new pump is $195.

>> Bill, you might want to check with George Cornelius at www.depcopump.com. He has great knowledge and great prices.. He might find the right repair kit, and very cheap. They have all the parts to assemble a complete new pump, that means that whatever is wrong with yours, it can be serviced and save some $$$$..

>>> Thanks everyone, I think I am going to use the oberdorfer since I have a 3" exchanger may not need as much water, if I can't find a sherwood for 350 price is 215 the official replacement part is now sherwood with an adapter still almost 600. Talked to a guy at marine engine direct very helpful and not pushing to buy. I will however check with the local Kabouta guys. There also seems to be a deal with westerbeke dealers they can't sell parts out of certain areas.
