Hi folks,
I'm a newbie to boating and have a 1974 75HP & 1976 90Hp and both have pitted water pump housings. I'm wondering a couple of things;
a) does a bit of pitting affect performance - can I still use them (I've been told it shortens the life of the impeller).
b) is there anything I can do to tidy up the pitting?
c) I'm in Australia and am struggling to find housings/kits for these. Do you know any supplier who are likely to have them and ship internationally?
d) any other advice appreciated
Thanks, Grant
