[C38] Raw water pump

[Dick Kilroy]

Bill: On the Oberdorfer the shaft tends to wear. It the will leak. This is very bad. Below this on the front of the engine is a freeze plug. I almost lost the engine as the the plug failed and the oil ran out. I saw it in time and was able to stop the engine. Be very careful if the pump leaks.

  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.

      The engine is a Kabuta, Universal however marinized it, that includes the salt water pump. I just bought another Sherwood. It was about $ 350.00 from a Westerbeke dealer. Rebuild kit was $ 250.00. Max is right the Sherwood pumps much more watter
