" I just removed the drive bel
" I just removed the drive belt for the water pumps to replace it on the Starboard side and noticed that the "fresh water pump" is very hard to turn and almost feels like it binds up or grabbs then lets loose. Feels like gears instead of bearings.
The "coolant water pump" spins freely like a car water pump.
I went one step further and took off the Port side belt and it has the same "fresh water pump" feeling as the Starboard.
Is this normal, or do I need both Fresh water pumps?
Thanx for any help here.
