Yes I am looking into another filter just past where the rear pipe enters the boat, and I agree with better placement I have an idea but will test that once I get the boat up and running again. If this filter works I am going to make another one and do a swap over once a month to check and clean thoroughly. I am thinking to change the hose to a see through one to make it easier to observer the flow.

Yes the pump is all done, I am going to the boat on Wednesday to fit it, but tomorrow to check hose sizes and recheck the system for any rubber. As for this new filter it will be placed in a better position, just don't know where yet.

There was concern raised over my filter, ok I understand its a diy job but I have looked and I just cannot find a suitable filter for my boat, so I decided last night I was going to make another which will have a mesh to offer better protection, it has cost me £23 but I have enough pipe to make maybe 10 more tubes, and enough mesh for one more, at an average lets say £12 all in per filter. Is it a winner or still concerns?

Ok I have decided to change out most of the water pipes, might as well do it all now. A question, I have been thinking that the inlet hose from the back of my boat seems a bit long, maybe shorten it would produce a more powerful flow and also position it downwards near to the back of the boat body?. looking to change the filter but no joy finding one.

I have got the bug to restore things now I find it relaxing.

I did spin the pulley boths ways and they did adjust direction with no stress, of course under the torque of the engine might be a different story, also this is a different pump to yours these could be bit looser.

It seems all good and spinning nice by hand, I think on start up it would correct itself anyway, as long as there is enough grease the blades will take position. I just read this is the same stuff that is given with the impeller kit. Boots glycerin

Tony I took it out to clean the pump, made the video to ask some questions then went back and cleaned the cam and fitted it. Can someone confirm this is in correct and the fins in the right direction and all good.

I might have a project coming up soon if all goes well, and will make a video of the restore, all credit to you lot though, it feels like the matrix, one moment I knew absolutely nothing and the next I am on my boat stripping the system down. ?

Thank you Tracy

OK I am ready to put the pump back together. I made a video and raised some questions.

OK thanks Tony.

That is looking good mine is overdue a repaint, the top roof blue is that called sky blue?

I am going to order from Asap so the gland packing should be one of these? https://www.asap-supplies.com/propeller-drivetrain/gland-packing-and-removal-tools/prop-shaft-gland-packing

Can you tell me which one to get there is so many. https://www.jabscoshop.com/search/?brands-dropdown=&q=gland+packing

They fell off as I undid the pump I was about to post asking about them, I think I will try it without the shims first and see how it lines up, and hopefully that will be enough, if not I will do what you showed Tony with the A-B bolts. I am now going to order the parts before I proceed I will post here to double check, and I still need a filter from the water entering the boat pipe and the first oil cooler. Jabsco Boat Marine Pumpgard In-Line Strainer 3/4" Barb would this work? Will go one this pipe

Yes I will clean it after I remove the blockage, my son needed my time so I lost an hour or so, but will spend the evening cleaning it and fix the drip. I fully respect the knowledge here, and even find it all interesting, thank you all.

I think mine is just a bit on the tight side.

I am enjoying it alot which is key, but yes the fingers feel bit stiff, but job well done counters that.

Little tidy up and it's done, now to clean the pump.

The problem is the paper I found is quite small but the plate looks quite even, circular motion is being used but some corrections were made on spot areas to level it out more even. how much more do I need to do?

Ok I will go find some, so far I have this much done.

Ok so I will have a look for coarse cloth and yes my 600 and 1200 is wet n dry. The key is stuck on the shaft, it looks like is that the mod?

Only have p 600 and p1200 ☹️
