Well, there is now a steady drip from the weep hole in the raw water pump (3800 hours). I see where I can buy a brand new Volvo pump for somewhere between $500 and $600 or an "equivalent" (Johnson) for $400. I can also buy an overhaul kit for $180. The new pump is just a bolt on, installing the overhaul kit is more complicated but I'm handy and have a shop full of tools so I could handle it if it comes with instructions.
My question then is, has anyone here installed the overhaul kit, was it difficult and did it come with instructions? Are the instructions on the Internet somewhere?
