Raw water pump-can you identify?

[LAWRENCE Owen]

Center console w/350 SBC was built in 1977. Engine replaced, but the raw water circulating pump probably original. I want to replace impeller. Model plate on back of pump can't be read. Can you identify so I can order an impeller?

On the back plate there should be the name, it could be either a Jabsco or a Johnson.

Crank driven or pulley driven?

Pull the cover and there is most likely a manufacturers model number

Thank you, Capt. Danforth, the pump is pulley driven with a belt from the crank. Pic attached. Rear plate cover has very little clearance; I might have to fab a special tool to get at the screws. By the way, the boat has been sitting for awhile and the salt air has destroyed the cosmetics. I'm just starting to replace and refurbish some key parts to make it pretty again!

Kenny, I had a mid '70s Baby Donzi 16' with a big outboard and terrorized Sarasota Bay (it was a sleeper race Mercury). When I think of all the many boats I've been lucky to have, the Baby Donzi always stands out. I was a Donzi salesman at the time.

Remove the pump completly. You will thank me later, plus it gives you the oppertunity to clean it up.
