Re: Stus-List Advice for PYI shaft seal maintenance

The requisite compression is that which eliminates leakage. If your engine mounts are soft, the prop thrust can push the engine forward and spread the bellows and collar causing a leak...While in forward. The conventional wisdom is that the shaft should have dimples drilled for the grub screws.

Re: Stus-List Engine water cooling woes on Yanmar 3GMD

The bushing on the impeller doesn't fail. There is a key in the impeller bushing, that fits over a pin or set screw that keeps the impeller in place. It should only turn when the pulley turns. Hold the impeller while turning the pulley. If it turns, the pin is missing. Also check the tension

Re: Stus-List Engine water cooling woes on Yanmar 3GMD

I agree with Josh. I have seen this happen when your water pump drive belt is too slack; it will pump at low RPMs but not higher RPMs. Sometimes, during the idle winter season, the drive belt will develop a “set” and cause slippage. Tension your drive belt and try again. Mike Amirault C 33ii

Be careful not to over tighten the belt. I believe 1/2 in. deflection is called for. If too tight, you may ream out the slotted hole of the water pump pulley and round down the end of the shaft. I know as I had this happen to a newly rebuilt pump. Ed Levert C 34 Briar Patch New Orleans On Sun,
