So here is a little bit of a status on this thing and my current conundrum.
The crack I found in the pump housing originally is much worse than I first thought.
Here is how I first found it.
It looks like it doesn't go all the way through but I figured out that inside piece is the wear ring.
Here are a few more shots showing the more extensive extent of the issue.
So two things to deal with now how to remove the impeller and wear ring and how to repair the crack. Since it is not on the pressure side its only on the intake (suction) side I am thinking it might not be a huge issue as long as I can get it to seal and not allow air to come into the intake and water to seep into the boat. If thats the case might be able to tack it up from the inside and use the epoxy to help seal and hold it.

I appreciate all the thoughts.
