'84 E30+ HN 636
Alrighty, either I am the worst googler ever or I have overlooked what I am sure is a previously discussed topic. My apologies. Help is appreciated...
1984 E30+, Universal M-20, Sherwood G908
Lost raw water flow yesterday, shut off immediately and had a docking adventure under sail. In-flow from the through-hull is good, strainer clear, impellor ok (new in june).
Wife cranks motor without firing it, water pump shaft NOT turning. Remove water pump, holy corrosion! Ordered a new pump, the one that starts with an O, not the Sherwood. Question are...
1) What kind of damage could I be looking at here?
2) What would be causing a water pump not to turn at all??
3) I have looked in all my books of secrets and I must say that this episode has pointed out a knowledge gap in how this particular system works. How does the motor turn the raw water pump? It looks "ok" inside but without taking a whole lot more apart I can't really tell.
4) Anyone had this happen before?
Thanks!
John
