    Ive got a 1988 johnson 70hp. Ive always bought sierra water pump kits off here at boats and no problems with them. The first kit i bought in 2010 or 2011 the impeller had a brass hub. When i replace the old brass hub one in 2013, the new impeller had a plastic hub, didn't look to close at it...

    brake kits- what's the difference?

    looking at the disc brake kits from Tie Down. Northern Tool has the 10" kit for $459 while Eastern Marine has the 9.6" kit for $339. Otherwise the two look identical. The manufacturer part # on the two websites is even the same for both kits. What's this all about? Thanks for the help. Tony
