Thought I was done. But no. Just reinstalled the pump after rebuild. This is the 4th pump rebuild for me and never had any issues till this one. Took her out for a 30 minute ride to see how she behaved with the new wear ring and reworked impeller.
A little quicker out of the hole, and top speed went up 4mph. Put her back on the trailer, and opened the bilge plugs. A good two to three gallons of water drained. Before the rebuild, almost no water was taken on, even after hours in the water.
So, I'm guessing I'm leaking at the Carbon Ring or seal carrier? Everything looked great when it went back together. Haven't had time to open up an look, but plan to this weekend.
Any advice?
