Slow drip from raw waterpump


VLXWakesetter

Recommended Posts

I changed out my impeller and after starting it up to see if they were any leaks from the cover (no leaks from there) i noticed I have a slow drip coming from the back of the pump just wanted to ask if that’s normal or is something wrong.

You can change the seal at the rear of the pump. 

www.oringsandmore.com part number 16x28x7 Buna-n oil seal.  SKU #OS16287.  $1.75 each when I bought a bag of ten a few years ago.  My buddy and I have three pumps between us, so we always have one ready to go if one leaks. 

Use a vise and drift the shaft out of the bearings, change the seal, and drift the shaft back in.  Don't forget the o-ring that rides the shaft to sling water when the seal leaks.

You all talking Johnson 812 pump?

812 is the impeller.  The pump is F6B.  Yes, that is what we are talking about.  Well, I am anyway....

Tell me more about said o-ring. Do you have a part number for that? Pretty sure my pump has been leaking for quite some time, may as well rebuild it before I put the new impeller in this year.

Any old o-ring that fits the shaft should do.  Its only job is to ride along with you and wait until your seal starts leaking, in which case it deflects the water and causes it to drip rather than run into your ball bearings.  It goes between the seal and the bearings in the open space.  You just have to remember to put it on as you reinsert the shaft through the bearing stack and into the seal.

Would I have to remove the water pump to replace the seal or can I do it with the pump still on the boat?

You have to remove it. 

Would it be easier to just buy a new one for $142? And just swap it out?

Yes just replace it with a new one, then if your tempted you could repair the old one as a spare. My old one is still in the drawer waiting for me to decide whether to fix it or chunk it.

Fix it!  It is too simple to do.  Honestly, about a five minute job once you have done your first one.

Just disconnect the hoses and unbolt the pump correct?

This happened to me several years ago.  Very simple, and yes....disconnect the hoses and unbolt the pump and slide it off.  

Yeah, simple ;)  Depends on how corroded the pump is to the crank pulley/balancer.  Some people have broke them in half trying to "tap" them apart after removing the bolts that hold the pump on.

I could see that happening.

Shoot, if it is really stuck like that, use a wheel puller and pull the body off of the shaft.  Change the seal and tap the body back on.  Done.

Is this the correct pump?  https://marinepumpdirect.com/johnson-pump-10-24946-01-replaces-10-24930-01-10-24915-01-10-24232-01-and-others/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw9_mDBhCGARIsAN3PaFNR1eVsw5WaVo_6jAaephm7EUZb5GSF80YsVRKyHw9Wl6PfwnJUZyMaAh-5EALw_wcB

That looks like it may be correct.  The spare I have is a 10-24805-01, and the following link says that it is replaced by the pump you mentioned.

Since it will be my first time, it should take me about two weeks???
1 week to order and receive the new seal.  4 hours to bust the old pump while trying to remove it.  An hour of cussing and texting @ahopkinsVTXfor sending me this link, and then another week to get the new pump delivered and installed.
