    Yamaha stern drive raw water pump making noise

    I think you are confusing the raw water pump and the engine circulating pump. never us an automotive circulating pump in a marine application. the difference is marein has brass impeller and stainless back cover vs the automotive pump having a stamped steel impeller and a stamped steel back cover
