Impeller Housing leaking

[nvmalibu]

I just installed my new impeller today and when I hooked up my house to the Flushpro and turned on the water. I started to get water leaking out of the impeller pump housing. I thought I had the impeller pushed all the way in and i tightened the bolts but still leaking. I am wondering if i need to pull impeller and lube more and try and get in farther or if the housing is cracked though I wouldn't think it would be.

Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks!!!!

There is a gasket between the housing & the cover. When you pulled it off, did you notice what condition it was in?

Also, when your were prying & pulling the old impeller out, any chance you might have dinged or scraped the brass housing? It's pretty soft metal.

Personally I've never had a problem with either. Your sure it's coming from the housing itself?

Nv,

Is the water coming from the rear of the pump housing? By the crank pulley?

Indmar or Mercruiser pump?

Should be a indmar if memory serves me right on a LSV.

I think the OP got lost. Joined in 2007 and just made his first post. He’ll be back in a few years.

PS: Did you use the old seal?
