Seeking advice on how to remove and replace raw water pump seals on
Westerbeke 30B3. Techniques and tools to use for do-it-yourselfer would be
appreciated. Does the shaft and or bearing need to be removed?

Len,

I don't know the answer myself, but here is a good resource for you:
www.depcopump.com. Their folks in tech support are very helpful. They do
pump rebuilds, as well as sell parts and entirely new pumps. Compared to the
other places I checked their prices seemed quite good. (I'm replacing the
raw water pump on my Universal M25XP.) Check out their on-line catalog.

Alan Gomes

Thank you Alan! Good resource.

Didn't see prices in their website catalog. I take it you called them.

What percentage savings would you say they offered vs. authorized
distributor of engine manufacturer?

Also noted that certain internal parts of a particular pumps seem specific
to the engine manufacturer. Is Depco able to supply these, or must you get
them from an authorized distributor of engine manufacturer?

Len,

I called them for prices.

As for whether their price is competitive: I found a wide variation on price
for my raw water pump from different vendors. One well-known vendor in the
midwest wanted $275 for it (!!), and the local Captain's Locker (Long Beach,
Ca) wanted $180. (Captain's Locker's prices are ok generally.) Depco has the
pump for $137. This is for an Oberdorfer, model 202-M15 (their catalog, p.
95).

As for part number, they were able to come up with that for me just by
providing them with my engine model information.

I just called and sadly learned that Depco would have to buy my pump from
Westerbeke to sell to me -- at full manufacturer price of course. It seems
that it's a custom pump for my particular engine. Thanks again. It was worth
a try.

A water pump for my Honda 9.9 is readily available
and costs less than ten bucks.

Get rid of that inboard diesel and become a real sailor.

You'll need to actually sail for that to happen.
Anywhere.
Though I seem to remember than Donal and a few others actually think you sail.
Good one!

When did I say that? Huh?
I think that Neal used to write very well. Nothing more!

You are probably under the illusion that I think that *you* sail too!
