Water pump leak

Just a reminder, the pump comes in clockwise and ccw rotation. One rotation is about 100 bucks but the Ccw is about 300 buck, all in addition to being reg flow or high performance. Just be sure you are getting the right performance and rotation for your engine.

Wow ! Heck Yeah ! But just be totally sure it’s the one you need...as others said . All that work and it’s not the right one ; what a time killer which for you and I is hard to come by.
I 10 to do what Captain J says on that and go directly to Johnson and Towers, but Johnson and towers does not make the pump someone does and I assume Napa gets it from the same manufacture.

please keep us up-to-date on this one if you would.

Hey Captain Ralph hope all is going well and you’re hanging in there the best you can we’re all thinking of you!

Did they take your old cores ?

Understood. I got my replacements from J&T years ago and you saved some money by sending them the core. Same with turbos ( not from J&T tho )
I bought a spare pair of circ pumps, painted them and keep them aboard.
This is after I had one just self destruct underway.
Luckily I was not far from home and could limp in.
Also luckily I happened to be scanning the gauges as we idled through a no wake zone & the STRBD temp began to rise abruptly.
No damage but a long, peaceful slow ride home.

Holy cow..... No wonder you love NAPA !! I do too, now.

Thanks Boomer! That is a big difference ! I need to keep all of this in mine or should I say ''We''. Call NAPA first and /or look at their website first to see if they got ''it''. I'm sure the can get the starter, alternator among other parts for our DDs. I assume other motor manufactures too.
In the Cape May NAPA store I see a large section of Mann filters on the wall.

Great work thanks for the info!

Thank you my friends. All is very good. I felt the wishes and prayers.
Thank you my friends.

I am finally back at my desk. Ahhh, My old seat, heater going and a cocktail on it's way.
Life has been good this week. Lots of new friends.

If I did not brag enough on U F Shands @ Gainesville back in September, I have to really rub it in tonight.
These kids saved my life in September.
Overdue hip replacement this last Tuesday. I'll be ready in 2 weeks for them to look at my other hip and knees.

I've been in touch with Boomer directly. Dropped a check it note on him, (from a dream of mine) directly yesterday.
Pretty sure all good. Just have to get some travel dates, weather dates, and baits together now.. He's gotta take somebody here fishing.

Glad to hear they are taking care of you, have a coworker who has had both hips and both knees done and he has great mobility, playing golf and racquetball, for what it is worth.

I got the super double cup monster of some kind installed. Still has restrictions.
My largest caution is not to do anything stupid till all of the mussels are healed.

Yep. Glad you're back and seem to be in perfect form !

That and follow the PT to a T. The exercise and stretching that the doctor tells you to do, it makes the most difference.
