I'm replacing the raw water pump on my Westerbeke 10Two as the old one had seized. I know I can rebuild it, but for the time constraints I have and the price delta (about $60), I decided to go new. On to my question...
The old shaft had a spot where the set screw from the pulley seated.
The new one doesn't have that (the mark you see is where I did an initial fit of the pulley).
Was that spot worn in over time, or should I use a drill and put a little notch in the shaft? Will the set screw work just fine gripping against the flat surface of the shaft?
Thanks!
