I have a SeaRay 240 SD w/ 5.0L MPI Bravo III engine. I was told I needed to replace my raw water pump (not just the impeller) b/c there are grooves in it. I have been doing some research and have a few questions.
1) The service manual states the housing cover can be resurfaced to remove grooves. I don't see anyone posting about this. Is this a viable option? If so, where should I take it to be resurfaced?
2) The manual also states there is a replacement housing cover made of composite material w/ replaceable stainless wear plate. I can't find this online. Is it better to have a wear plate to replace rather than replacing the whole housing? If so, do I have to switch to the composite housing and where would I find it?
Here is the model of the raw water pump I currently have:
MER46-862914T10
Thanks!!!
