Hi,<br /><br />Quick question. In my over eagerness to replace the water pump. I forgot to take note of how the impeller fits into the housing. Which way should the blades face?<br /><br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Ian
Turn the driveshaft clockwise and the fins will be facing counterclockwise. Actually, I doesn't make any difference which way you put it in. The fins will turn the correct way as soon as you start the motor.
Ok Thanks,<br /><br />Done that. <br /><br />Now, Which way does the driveshaft seal fit into the waterpump cover? Spring facing down or spring facing up?<br /><br />thanks
turn the impeller correctly there is NOT enough room for the blades to reverse in the housing. some of the jabsco and johnson pumps will evinrudes wont. I get 2 or 3 a year with "new" pumps that overheat due to the impeller blades being backwards.<br /> good luck and keep posting
Ok. I have the impeller in the correct way.<br /><br />Now, Which way does the driveshaft seal fit into the waterpump cover? Spring facing down or spring facing up?<br /><br />If I get it wrong the seal will fail<br /><br />Ta
Ok. <br />So the seal on top of the waterpump housing faces down to prevent water getting out of the impeller housing? Right?<br /><br />Hope so.<br /><br />Thanks for the help by the way
