Excellent explanation. When I check my impeller in the spring I just massage it with Vaseline. Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 9, 2020, at 10:11 AM, Josh Muckley via CnC-List > wrote: > >  > Typical closed/freshwater/glycol loop pump with standard metal impeller. > > See attached photo. > > J

While we're on the subject of water pumps for Universal diesels, remember that Oberdorfer now makes a replacement pump (N202M-908) for the OEM G908 Sherwood raw water pumps that came on many Universal diesels (M-12, M-18, M20, M-25, M-25XP, M30, M40, M50). The Oberdorfer is not only cheaper but th

This is not exactly how the flexible vane pumps work but pretty close. The idea of expanding and contracting volumes is well shown. https://youtu.be/L30JpM8Lv_A Josh On Mon, Jun 8, 2020, 11:47 David Knecht via CnC-List wrote: > I thought I might have had a problem with the fresh water side of

The glycol closed circuit is referred to as the freshwater loop. This loop is circulated the same way as the coolant in your car. A pump half shell is mounted to the engine block which makes up the other half. The two halves sandwich a metal impeller which creates the driving force, works on the

Hi John- My manual makes no maintenance period recommendation for the fresh water impeller. Not mentioned in maintenance at all. Does yours? I am unclear on why the raw water needs periodic maintenance and the fresh water does not. Is it a similar rubber impeller? Dave S/V Aries 1990 C&C 3

David, You have a circulating pump usually driven by a belt off of the crank pulley, also this belt drives the alternator. This pump usually doesn't require any maintenance. There is a weep hole below the shaft to signal when a seal has failed. There is a thermostat that controls the temperature o

I thought I might have had a problem with the fresh water side of the cooling system of my Universal M4-30 engine because it was heating water very slowly. I now think that it is just that the sea water is cold this time of year and it was taking longer than I expected. All was fine with lots of
