I wish you would do a video on replacing the impeller in the most poorly-engineered raw water pump in history. That would be the one on my 2002 Ski Nautique with the "Excalibur" PCM Chevy 350. The pump is nearly inaccessible due to its location between the fuel control cell and the harmonic balancer pulley. One of the mounting bracket bolts has to be removed using an open-end wrench because it is located behind the pump pulley. Of course, the tight quarters limit the wrench to less than one sixth of a turn, so removing this bolt takes quite a while. Once the mounting bracket is loose, and I have cleaned up the blood from removing the inlet and outlet hoses, the pump and mounting btacket assembly must be maneuvered back under the engine to the only spot it can be removed, from the area between the two left side engine mounts. The best part, though, is trying to wrangle the new impeller into the housing. I always allow a couple of days to do this. I use a couple of hose clamps to compress the impeller blades, and lube the blades with dish soap. It usually requires 50 to 60 attempts to find the magic combination that gets the impeller in without pushing the woodruff key out of the slot in the shaft. I'm up to 30 attempts tonight, and I'm quitting for the day.

I bought an 84 Bronco out of a junkyard. It has a Holley carb. I mainly have worked with Edelbrock carbs. So this video was very informative. Thank you.

Where can buy a gasket

I really appreciate the information and the way it was presented. It helped me a lot. Thank You!

Worked great thanks!

any chance you still have the part # for this fuel filter? The links are expired.

1:01 can you tell me if, on the port side engine, the pump is attached opposite if it is a left hand drive? just heard in the video it goes opposite, but it doesn’t want to attach that way. I put on a new pump, fried the impeller, I wasn’t the one who took off the pump so I don’t know if it was the same as the starboard side.

What a great American! Thank you!

Need to replace fuel pump on '88 MC. The pump I'm taking off does not have a filter on the bottom, as you show. Should I be looking to go back with one with a filter? Also, PleasureCraft sells one for $169. Marine Fuel Pumps sells one for $69. Is one better than the other?

Thank you so much. Your videos are amazing. ❤

Vince, Grat videos! I have a 98-centurion wave and she slips when driving in gear on the lake. Any directions?

I'm having trouble with the new hose and clamp leaking on the intake (bottom) side of the pump. It's a nice clean cut hose, brand new clamp, still keeps dripping out the top of the hose. Anyone have any pointers in getting the hose to seat? I'm running on a bucket, so no excess pressure coming from garden hose. The clamp is tighten down.

I have a 4160 with a few years on it and must scrape stuck on gasket off with razor blade, now I have tiny bits in the metering holes if the carb body, I'm concerned about plugging up the circuit with this debris any advice on how to avoid this would be appreciated,

Thank You! Great video!

Vince is a national treasure. There should be a holiday in his name.

Great video, thank you!

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing. Going to replace rope seal today...Hopefully as 'easy' as it looks here.

Thank-you!!!

Inboards r junk

Doesn't attaching the starter wire to the same post as the battery cable disable the external solenoid? Seems like he's bypassing it entirely.

Hey, my carter p4070 is very warm and low pressure. I have weber IDf 44 and regulator 0. 25 bar but pressure low almost 0.0 bar. Sorry, bad language. I from finland

what if there's NO change when you mess with the idle adjust screw?

Can you send me the part number for it sir ? Much appreciated

Spot on!👊🏻🇺🇸

Thank you sir!

Vince, great information thank you. My question is on the 12 o'clock location of the SW. How is that established??

Always with the great videos. I just replaced the seal on my 2000 Supra Launch. The video helped a bunch. I did the replacement with the pump still on the boat and the only benefit to having the pump off the boat I found would be that getting the copper washer off would be much easier when you can flip the pump upside down to slide it off. Just had to get a bit creative though and it went smoothly.

Hi there, what RPM on buffer you like and what pads you using? Also, what compound is best. TYIA

Thank you!

What is recommended oil pressure on a 85 ford pcm 351? I have high pressure after a recent oil change. Thanks

The machine is having a mental breakdown buddy

Mine is easy to remember which way to reinstall because that set screw on the outside of the impeller housing goes on the engine side. However, and I could be wrong, but it looks like yours goes with that set screw away from the engine. Must have something to do with engine rotation. Either way, I find it a good, easy way to remember, because over the years, there has been a lot of confusion about how to remember which way it goes. You just have to know which side that set screw goes on your particular engine.

I know how to change the impeller, but I was putting the plug back in the “elbow” right next to the impeller, and I realized the threads are pretty much gone. It’s a 1998 Ski Nautique with a carbureted 351 Ford engine. I took the pump and the elbow off (what a bear getting it off those hoses!), and my question is simply this: is it easier to put the new elbow on first, or the pump/pulley assembly? I’m guessing the elbow, but I don’t think I’ve ever replaced it, so I wanted to be sure. Thank you!

My bunks in the way

How do you replace the 1.75" hose from the thermostat housing that goes down to the engine block? Can I just remove the hoses or do I need to take parts off?

. What about total advance curve…?? As you have done in this video, we just need set 10’ initial timing and tight the dist nut?? Or we have to check total taming as well?? This is actually making me confused…!!!

SO CAN THIS BE DONE WITH THE TRANS IN PLACE?

How do you clip the connector off the old pump? Im trying to replace one now.

Thanks. I see the secondary is missing the metal plate and the gasket... I guess with the blue gaskets those are not necessary, from what I have read.

You’re the man Vince!

What if the o ring is fine and the transmission still leaks. What else could it be?

On my pump for the Volvo-Penta 2003-turbo the shaft and bearings pull out from the gear-drive side quite easily. Once the shaft is out the seal is super easy to remove. I wish these seals would last more than a few hundred hours or at least not be so darn expensive. Oil seals this size are $5-6 and the seal for my pump is $20. I'm changing the seal every couple of years. 500 hours is only a few oil changes....

Thanks for sharing, can this be done while on the boat with inboard with limited access. Boat is a Malibu with the Raptor 410 engine.

I hear what sounds like the damper plate problem but its only noticeable when out of water and using fake a lake. If i put boat in gear, out of water, I can hear the clanging noise, but in water it is not noticeable. Maybe because of resistance in water? Today at 40mph i heard a random clanking noise in the back. It was sporadic but every few seconds. If i slowed down some to say 30mph, no noise.

Do you have an estimate for a damper plate on a '97 gt40?

thx for the good explanation video, one question. in my rebuild kit is a black SECONDARY METERING PLATE GASKET Holley PART# 108-27-2, does it belong betwee the plate and the blue gasket?

Love this kind of trans

If the hand is your way to roll put a sponge behind the paper, use your palm. No finger scratches, same way as sanding a vehicle for paint prep.

Hi Vince, is a PCM 40A Transmission reversible? 90 Ski Brendella that came with a RH motor and a LH prop? I have a LH motor to go in it and want to know if this trans will work. Thank you!
