I have a 1990 Catalina 34 with a 25xp. The raw water pump is a Sherwood G-903 (new version, three screws from the back). It just started to leak a drop or two from the weep hole when you turn the engine off. What's the recommendation, should I have it rebuilt or buy a replacement. I've heard mixed reviews on the success rates of rebuilds. If I have it rebuilt, who would I take it to. I'm ok with the R & R of the pump, but question my abilities to press new bearings and seals, etc. Looking for any thoughts or opinions.

Thanks, Dave

It's really youor choice, but would you want a weeping antyhing on your boat?

Of course, you're an expert on the search engine on this website and message board (two separate search engines), so it shouldn't be a problem to find:

It's fun reading, should answer your question.

If you have ANY questions about the integrity of your seals, replace the pump.

Thanks Stu,

I think I was using the WEB Site Search Engine and not the Message Board one. Thanks for the direct link, lots of good information.

Thanks, Dave
