Seal blew on my raw water pump
Was planning on rebuilding or purchase after market , not wanting too spend VP pricing ,
Just so happens a fellow boater had spare from his old boat , ,
New in box , Volvo part ,
I have the 4.3 GXI engines
Almost identical except the housing were the impeller mounts too the pulley is higher with larger impeller.
He had 8 cylinder engine
Inlet Hose size 1 inch & 1 1/4
Used my old housing impeller was good , screw wholes lined up , works perfect ,
I am curious , besides finding a 1 inch by 11/4 inch hose ,
would it have made any difference , Am I over thinking ? or would it have pumped too much water for the 6 cylinder ?
