Re: omc stringer waterpump
Ok, just done mine a couple weeks ago. Yes they send u more o-rings then u need. You should have one o-ring at the bottom of water pump shaft, then at the top there should be a snap ring in the splines, that will go on last after waterpump housing is all put together. Above the snapring there should be a seal that slids down over the splines down to almost the snapring. I got some kind of gasket sealer from marina, can't remember what it's called but the mechanic at the marina will know. Put some on splines then install the splined seal, let sit up, then grease on top of shaft, then reinstall. The one big o-ring goes on bearing hausing in upper vertical shaft. Do not put waterpump housing in upside down, believe me, it's easy to do. Oh don't forget to seal waterpump housing with that stuff that u used on the other seal, waterpump housing has to be sealed not to suck in air.Some of the housings had gaskets in them, mine did not.I think I put some sealer on the threads of bolts before installation.Get grease for the rubber impeller, just rub alittle on inside of impeller housing. Hope this helps.
