need help replacing impellor ive got twin mercruiser 260 v8 inboard cooled to vdrives shafts with serial #6703143 and #A608492
firstly i need to figure out the model number so i can order a replacement kit, secondly is there any easy way to get the pump housing off as its in a really hard spot... can i do it at the back without taking the pulley off?
and also being that the raw water intake is on the bottom of the hull with no shut off **** can i do it in the water or will i flood the boat... in the picture those little buckets are the water filters and are the highest point of the water lines, the bottom end is the intake from hull the other goes through the v drive and then the water pump.
im thinking if i disconnect that first it should be above the water line and i can tamper away with the pump?
thanks in advance
