"I own a 2001 Wellcraft Martinique 2600 with a merc Bravo 3 7.4. Last fall, the marina told me the sea water pump was a little weak. I noticed the temp gauge had gained about 2 degrees. This is probably the result of where I launched it last year before I took it to the marina. There was sea weed wrapped around the outdrive and this block some of the water flow.

Anyway... I have worked on engines and outdrives since I was a kid but this engine compartment has very little room to get this pump out.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

TJ"
 
"Can you pull any extraneous s

"Can you pull any extraneous seats or panels out of the way of the front stbd side of the engine to make more room?

Otherwise you will have to assume the position of an inverted acrobat, and just have at it.
It may be easier to undo the brackets that support the pump in lieu of undoing the pump from the brackets. Depends on the installation.

If you email me I can send you a pic or two that show how it is mounted and where the fasteners are.
