OK took the boat out 2 weeks ago and she was pumping water great well best I could tell since it had no tell tale. It was spewing alot of water from the upper exhuast ports and I ran a whole tank of fuel through her with no trouble.

I have been working on a few other thinngs an I have been running it on the muffs. I noticed i was not gettiing water out of the exhuast ports or through the prop. SO today i added a tell tale. I fired it up and nothing no water making it to the top of the motor. I pulled the LU and then the water pump housing. The plate was bent close to the input shaft. I also noticed that the shaft seal in the housing was all chewed up and the housing its self was scored and uneven.

This is a 77 model and has the old cast aluminum housing. Can i get the 79-94 repair kit with the plasic housing and metal cup insert and it work? Its this one http://www.iboats.com/mall/partfind...gd_poid=110967&gd_row=46&session_id=032023017
This thing has a new impeller there is little to no wear on it. The PO siad he had just replaced it.

It looks like it is the proper kit for your engine.
