Does anybody in southern/central Wisconsin rebuild pumps? I have a 12JE, that I understand is not meant to be removed from the hull, so shipping it out is not an option. I have been reading many posts on this sight, and have decided that replacing a wear ring, and impeller is above my abillities, due to the precision required to install the wear ring, and set the gap. Is there anybody out there where I can just drop the boat off, and write them a check? I can pull the motor out myself to make the pump work more easy, or do you not need to pull the pump shaft out to change the impeller/wear ring? Any help would be great! Thanks

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I am a plumber by trade, so I am pretty mechanicly inclined. I know I most likely can do the impeller/ wear ring swap, I just get intimidated by any work that requires percision tolerences. I also am most worried about getting the new wear ring in "square", but I know many of the guys here do it all the time, so it must not be that bad. My front seal leaks a little bit, but I know I can handle that. Everything else seems like basic mechanics.

good one tom
