Re: HELP!

Getting the pulley off would give easy access to the retaining bolts. They are recessed in the bracket and I am having a hard time getting to them. The new models have holes in the pulley to give access to the bolts. I was going to pull the whole bracket off and the tech also informed me it is not j...

Re: HELP!

The pump is a Sherwood d-60. I am a machinist and in my mind the pulley has to come off. Either on a key way or on a spline. Even the pictures I see online show the pump without the pulley on it. But, the guy that owns the yard I am storing it at says if it comes off the pulley is junk. I don't know...

Re: HELP!

The main issue I have is that the bolts are recessed in the housing and the pully is blocking access. I was told that in 1974 the design changed adding holes in the pully to access the bolts. I am going to try to find a box wrench with an offset bend but Lowes, Menards don't carry them. Maybe Sears ...

Re: HELP!

It looks like its cast. I agree that it should come off but a tech here says it does not and if it does the pump is junk. I'm not sure about the brand but it looks like OEM?

HELP!

I am trying to pull the water pump off to do the impeller for my first time. The problem is that the bolts are behind the pully and they are recessed. The pully has no holes in it. Does anyone have any idea how to get these out? Thanks a lot for any help at all. :shock: Mike.

Re: Another thread on bottom paint.

Thats a good idea. I did talk to a guy at Jamestown Distributors and he said in comparison Total boat Krypton that uses Econea instead of copper to anti foul would do a better job in "his opinion". Since it is 40 dollars less a gallon than Trilux he definitely wasn't trying to up-sell. So ...

Another thread on bottom paint.

We are getting ready to do a bottom paint job in a few weeks. I have been looking for the best price on Interlux 2000e and Trilux 33 and came across a different paint and 2 part epoxy by Total Boat in the Jamestown Distributor catalog. It has similar properties to interlux and seem to provide the sa...

Re: Afraid to install transducer on aluminum boat.

I'm glad I checked this thread. I was about to post one about this very thing. The P.O. had a brand new airmar thru hull and cut the cable I am assuming so no one else could benefit from it :( :x . We floated without one last year but bought the Lowrance Elite 5 over the winter and it came with a ni...
