Hi everyone
I have just bought a Bahia mah it's a bit of a project and it has a volvo 280 stern drive and a 289 windsor v8 engine, my first question i have is it has a belt driven thru hull raw water pump can these pumps be recond or do I need to look at changing it out to something different? All the seacocks and hoses look fine but will replace when it's time for it to hit the water. Any help and info is appreciated. Cheers

Most of the time, a $5 seal and a $8 bearing is all thats needed

take the impeller out if you are trying to turn it by hand
