Hello all. Getting ready to install a new impeller and gaskets on my 87 45 HP Classic Fifty. As I am reading through my manual, I have come across a section that is confusing to me...and need some help. There is a section at the end of the installation instructions titled "WATER PUMP BASE SHIMMING" - and it says "if unit is equipped with a one-piece drive shaft bearing, the water pump base must be properly shimmed". It then goes on to explain the many different ways of shimming.
I have never had to do this when installing a water pump on my 150 Black Max. Is this something that I will need to do with my 45 HP?
Any help you guys could give me on this one would be greatly appreciated. AC.
