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?

Looks to me like a solution in search of a problem. How many times
have you had to change an impeller under circumstances where you
couldn't do it hove to or anchored?

Clearly you haven't tried to help get a boat off of the beach.

Looks like a solution looking for newbie cruisers to pay for
something I've never seen/heard of being an issue. Getting newbies to
change their fuel filters (all of them) would really save boats.
Especially if they carried the filters with them.

So, if you haven't heard of it, then it's for newbies? I don't think so...
seems like a reasonable device if you want to remove the cover without a
hassle, but I've not had the pleasure of doing it, no less doing it in a
hurry. Perhaps it doesn't work, or as someone said, the screws can't be hand
tighten enough.
