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,

Has someone used this product? What do you think?

looks good to me its not like most of the seals nowdays need to be
cranked very tight.
I might put wing nuts on the heads so i could twist a few more inch
pounds. or just for a secure grip in the cold. the nurling on those
cap nuts seems a might shallow to me.

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?


Just trying to be prepared. I had a situation where water was not flowing
for a longer-than-I-realized time. Fortunately, I didn't have to switch
impellers.

Knurling. Sorry. Can't help it.

If you are talking about the cover made in England then I've got one
somewhere. They have a very thin O ring around the edge of the cover
plate and the knurled screws are plenty large enough to tighten the
cover down and compress the O ring.

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.

Yep... what do you think of it? Not that I'm impressed, but Practical Sailor
liked it.

My main concern is that if I have to do it quickly, I would be hard pressed
to remove the cover easily...

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.
