I fired up the boat last night to warm for oil change and realized raw water pump was weeping. (1999 Volvo Penta 5.0GL) No boating today but I have a second used pump I bought on eBay as spare so going to use it (need get new anti rotation bumper first)
Out of boredom I messed with old pump and I removed leaking seal but bearings got salt water washed and are rough. (no shocker). The wear surfaces look good so I assume the bearings failed first. I know the pump is "non serviceable" but so are the trim cylinders and i have made tools to disassemble those and successfully rebuilt them..............
Anyone ever try to get one apart? Looks like the aluminum pulley is press fit into pump shaft?
