I am in the process of rebuilding my pump and had a question. What do I use to take this bolt or screw off?

So I have now gotten everything apart and found a mess. This was my dads boat he bought new in '75. First time the pump has been touched in 40 years. I have taken on this family gem and trying to get it back to its glory days. My impeller is in pieces and my bearings are shredded. Here are some pictures. My number one question is did the impeller do to much damage to keep using the housing? Any info anyone has about any part of this is appreciated.

Looks like the wear ring is still there. Take a torch to melt the insulator and remove the old wear ring and check for damage. Look at the vanes and the shaft also.

How does this type of damage to the impeller happen. I was always told that it doesn't actually touch the wear ring.

I'm pretty sure it got something stuck inside and that's what caused the damage. After so many years who knows. The crazy part is the boat still ran over 60 mph like this I don't know how but it did.

The shaft is toast. But I will remove the wear ring next time I get back to work on it. The vanes are not to bad

This was caused by a thrust bearing failure.  Bowl pressure pushes forward on the impeller and shaft.  When the bearing failed, the impeller ate into the suction housing.

So do you think I can still use this housing or should I start looking for a new one?

Take it to someone, I thought mine was trashed but a lot of it was repairable. Saved me a lot of cash over finding a new one.

All housings get really thin between the hand hole cover bore and the wear ring bore.  If it hasn't worn all the way through, you could get a little more life out of it.

Just understand that even undamaged Berkeley housings are prone to cracking in this area.  Also, the efficiency will be down because internal leakage past the wear ring will increase.

To specifically answer your question, I would have to see it in person before I would agree to use that suction housing.   Then, your application needs to be considered.  If it is destined for a cruiser AND it is not too far gone, you could potentially get a lot of life out of it.  In a performance application, it is not a matter of IF, but WHEN it will crack.

HOWEVER, if it does crack, the wear ring will spin, damaging the impeller.  It could also flood the boat as water will leak behind the hand hole cover.

I would also check the thrust bearing bore for damage seeing how the bearing disintegrated.

If it were me, just replace the damaged or worn parts.

That's fairly common.  We drill those out more often than I would like.  Usually, while the intake is being cut for a shoe and ride plate, I cut them out and through tap for 5/16-18.  Every once in a while I need to install a threaded insert.  When someone tries to drill them out with a hand drill, they always need at least one threaded insert.  The bolts are much harder than the aluminum intake, causing drill bits to walk.

You are in luck, maybe you can grab them with vise grips after spraying with penetrating oil.  A little heat will go a long way too.

This happened to me. I bought a screw extractor (ez out) set from the hardware store and got them removed. If you have never used one it takes a little practice. You have to first flatten the broken screw with a dremel or grinder, drill a hole on the middle of the broken screw, then lightly tap the extractor with a hammer while turning counter clockwise. Follow up with a tap to clean threads.

So I'm looking at replacing his water line. Does anyone know the size of the line going into the pump? Mine is frozen solid and I can't seem to get the valve part off. Also where do you find replacement parts?

That's a half inch nipple probably 3 inch long the brass gate valve you can find at Home Depot or Ferguson Plumbing

Looks like 3/8" brass nipple to a 3/8" to 1/2" bushing, to 1/2" gate valve, then a short 1/2" nipple then a 1/2" to 3/4" bushing. I think.

Take the handle (and gate assembly) out of the valve body before you take out the brass nipple.

Do this upon re-assembly. (remove gate assembly)

Hope that helps.

I think I used 3M 100% silicone when I put my pump together. Whatever brand you choose it needs to be 100% silicone
