I just got done rebuilding the water pump in my Mercruiser lower unit. My question is, shouldn't there be some sort of body gasket between the upper and lower drives? I didn't see one, so I guess there isn't one?
BTW: Anyone purchasing a used boat or haven't replaced their water pump in a while....do it! I can't believe how bad mine was! Burnt impeller, scored pump body etc. Plus it's a good time while the lower unit is off to flush out all the calcium deposits and clean things up a bit.
Thanks,
Mike
