Pump packing seal replacement

[KONA77]

SO, you could overheat your pump shaft with the seals too tight.

yes,  and cause the rope seals to harden and fail,

Guess I'll just bring a wrench and tighten em up a bit. I have way more than a dribble a minute. When fetchin' a beer from the cooler it's bilge pump time ( the wife says like every 5 minutes !!!) I'll order a set & get em b4 labor day.

No body wants to make a little change this weekend I guess.

New packings installed yesterday. Not a job I would recommend doing in the boat, and for sure jot at the lake as Duane said. After a couple hours & bending up a pick / hook tool a few times was finally able to get the old ones out. Piece of cake to install the new ones.

Duane builds pumps, he can do it with his eyes closed! Glad you got it done though! clap.gif clap.gif

Doing in the hull sometimes means being strapped into a harness and hung upside down, bending your elbows in directions you never thought possible..... :smile16:

Have a special tool for jobs like this it cost around 15.00 from waterous company a fire pump manufacture. If anyone wants to order one I can get them easily. It has a small cork screw attached to a piece of cable with a tee handle on the end.

Parts house, (like Napa) usualy carry this, they call it a "Sneeky Pete" Made to remove Rope type rear main seals without removal of the Crank.

Use a dental pick. That's what most of us use.
