Raw Water Pump Update.

[The Jester]

Now been informed the pump is no longer manufactured, so the new pump i got last week is the replacement model, this needs an adaptor plate which is £140.00 + vat . but Storrar say they will let me have it for what they pay which is £70.00 + vat . Hopefully all will be sorted by the weekend and its fishing all the way........Total cost £540.00....

thats a right kick in the "coco pops" mate however you can now go to sea knowing you have sorted the job properly,and not lookin at the pump every 5 minuteshowever,just in case,dont forget a bucket happy sailing/fishing

[The Jester]

You're spot on there LK , i'll take a big bucket just in case, to put the fish in that is...

It it makes you feel any better the frost has made a couple of the blades brital and showing cracks so i have ordered a new one but not at the cost your talking about for a full pump....mine was only £14 with p&p..will fit it at the weekend then its only needing a clean and to wet a line.

[The Jester]

I Norman, just going to cough up and get it sorted, then forget about it while hauling fish in.....I hope...

[Norman]

Yeah agree with that mate, get it behind you ....

Wish it was just the impeller on mine Richy, have a look at the impeller cover plate, if it says F7B-903 they no longer make that pump, its replaced with the F7B-9.

I got my spare one from Johnsons off te net, get alot of thngs from them very cheap.

Hope it's sorted for you soon

Jester, that’s an expensive bit of metal; just like lead, the cost keeps going up. Storrar sound to have been pretty decent sourcing the adapter at costs and once it’s fitted hopefully all your problems are over. Good luck getting it sorted.

Richie, which site did you get your impeller from?

Sounds like that Elbow Grease will be needed at the weekend Richy, Weather permiting.

Well the saga is over, i've been down tonight with a torch and got the new adaptor plate and pump fitted. No leaks, well there should'nt have been anyway, so i feel like a big weight has been lifted. Hope Saturday's forcast is correct, cant wait to get out.....

You can have a nice deep breath now, glad your all sorted.
Fingers crossed for the weekend.

[Norman]

Nice one mate ..... I bet it`s a good few weeks before you stop taking a cheeky look for leaks

I was just thinking the same Norman, bit of confidence building i think, Storrar have been great and i'll definately go back there, seems like they have a good stock of boaty stuff.......Have to save up a bit first though..
