Subject: Oops - went to the Parts List and there IS a seal on the oil side
In reply to: Randall, Murre, M31 's message, "Raw Water Pump Issue" on - Sunday - 07/ 3/11 - 2:42pm

There are two seals with the telltale hole in between.

The water seal is listed as "mechanical seal" and is quite robust - sits right behind the impeller retaining ring. The oil side "seal" looks wore like some sort of O-ring and sits right in front of the rear ball bearing - The weep hole would see bothoil or water passing their respective seals.

I guess the pump housing becomes integral with the gear cover and any oil splashing around in there and wetting the pump shaft would be stopped from entering the weephole chamber by the O ring (though the picture shows it as a square "seal".

See this attachment:

Photobucket

#14 is the "seal" that would stop oil from entering the weephole area; the water seal is #4 and listed as "Mech Seal"
