I am replacing the water pump on a newly acquired 1970 9.5 9022c. (free)
The bottom gear case was already off, and the water pump was dismantled.
Need to know the steps required, I do not see any gasket between the base and the housing, should there be one or how is this sealed?
On the opening for the drive shaft in the housing(not the water inlet) I have a rubber washer with a brass ring that connects to the drive shaft tube going to the power head, is there a water seal in the opening of the housing ( I have the O-ring at the top of the shaft). As I see it now if there is not a water seal water would be able to go up the drive shaft tube...is this normal.
Thanks for your help
