6BT Rusty Water Pump

[Julian]

Hi all,
Im replacing the front seal on my 6bt. Im getting everything off and cleaned up then gonna have the boatyard reseal it so I know its done right. Got a small leak. I noticed rust on a pulley, looked at the tech stuff on the site and I guess its the water pump. Im thinking I should replace it?

For now, that’s what I would do, including the rest of that general area,……………Then, watch it carefully..

Well Im just going to clean it up with scotch brite and paint it. Shame they left it unpainted when they replaced it.
