First time posting, hope to get an answer or I'm going to have to B O A T.... pump replacement is about $600
Recirculating pump (coolant pump) on our universal 5432 went out. I found the bearings to repair the pump but there is a seal, called the Slinger, that prevents water from entering the bearing area. I cannot find this part. The parts manual does not list a part number, and when I called up a local marine supply - who called the mfg - they said I needed to order the entire pump assy. No mfg info listed on the pump and the pump is sourced through Westerbeke.
Any ideas on how to get this part or am I doomed to a new pump?
Thanks,
Steve
