Default speedseal anyone?

In article lutions,
lid says...
I'm going to be hauling soon, and even though I have realitively easy access
to the raw water pump/impeller, I'm thinking of replacing the cover with a
Speedseal. It seems quite simple to do it, and then I'd be able to deal with
a problem without fumbling for a tool. The impeller is due to get changed
anyway, so while I'm there... for reference,
http://www.speedseal.com/speedseal.html.

Has someone used this product? What do you think?


Yes, I've had one for some years now and it lives up to its name. It has
the main advantage that it is easier and quicker to remove, not needing
tools and, because it has holes and slots, rather than all holes, is
less likely to get dropped when being refitted. (Two screws remain in
the block so it can be relocated without seeing where the screw holes
are.) It also uses an O-ring rather than a gasket for sealing. This
lasts much longer and is less likely to be damaged.

What I'd like is a Speedseal with a window, so I could check the
impeller is rotating :-)
