"I have a 29 Blackfin Flybridg

"I have a 29 Blackfin Flybridge 1988 with twin 454 crusader model 350 inboards. Each one has 1620 hours on it. Both run at about 140-150 degrees on the temp gauge (2500 rpm cruise). Will scan manifolds, risers, and exhaust with a temp gun this weekend. I want to keep the right spare parts onboard and was wondering if any one could tell me the part number for the impeller/gasket kit for the engines. Thanks guys."

"Thanks Tim, I was able to cross reference the sherwood pump # to the correct impeller kit. How are my temps?"

"I am new to crusader engines

"I am new to crusader engines mostly dealt with mercruiser and those temps would be okay, recommended less than 160. I will try to dig into my crusader manual and see if it has any info, I have the 270's on my boat.

Also another idea Brian, I change my impellers every two years regardless of condition, and as spares I keep the old ones in a ziplock bag, the new ones go in the pump."
