Thanks for all the feedback! Upcoming weekend I will do the job.

When I took the faceplate off for the first time, it seemed to me that is
was mounted reversed. On the inside it said the brand and model number,
rotating direction and so on.
To me it feels like that this information should be on the outside.. not on
the impeller side.. Is this an correct assumption?

Yes, the face plate was on backwards if the lettering was on the inside.
They should be on the outside.

That old plate may have been worn excessively on the original face and
someone reversed to thinking it would improve performance. Hah!

s/v Good Intentions

The shaft I ordered was too long, the seals however are OK.
When I took the pump housing off, it was a different pump then I had
anticipated. This pump (Johnson F4B) had 2 bearings that didn't show on the
specs that I had. No way I could press the shaft out myself. I took it to
the local marine-supply store. They pressed the shaft out and told me the
bearing were shot too. I placed an order for the bearings and for $40 they
will put it back together..

Ronald.
