Replacing the impeller on this engine. Puchased an impeller kit . Looking at my Seloc manual shows a sealing ring which appears to be on the drive shaft above the water pump housing. When dropping the L/U I came across no sealing ring. I stuck my finger up the drive shaft housing thinking it may have been stuck there but it was not to be found. The motor was pumping water fine i just thought it a good idea th change out the impeller as I do not know how long since it has been serviced. I would like to wrap this project up this weekend , not order another part and wait another week. Will an O ring work in place of the sealing ring which was not there in the first place. Thanks for your replies. Now that I have the pump I am anxious the put the L/U back on and go for a spin as the weather has been hot this week.
