Need Raw Water Pump for GT40

[Chexi]

When winterizing my GT40 this season, one of the bolts that keeps the two halves together) snapped. It is quite fused. I tried the normal things, liquid wrench with a real wrench, EZ out, etc., but nothing is working. Nothing to weld to. Only thing left is to take to a machine shop (and probably end up having to get the hole retapped). before doing that, I though I would see if anyone has either an entire water pump or the back half of the pump for sale from a parted-out older boat. Thanks.

If nothing else, you could get a new one from NautiqueParts. They're $129 (minus 10% with our discount).

Hopefully someone will have a used one for you though.

Can you drill through it with a left hand drill bit? Heat with a mapp (or oxy acetlyn) torch first. Often, they'll come out with a left hand bit when that bites.
Still, 10% off of $129 is a good deal

A much better penetrating oil is a home brew of 50/50 ATF & Acetone, that and a bit of heat will work wonders

Call or email Joe at www.rawpumps.com I believe the pump you want is a G21 Sherwood. Joe sells new and rebuilt. He buys used cores and may have just the the part you need.

If you want a full rebuild, you can mail him your pump and he will rebuild it. I did a minor rebuild myself a few years back when I had access to a press to r and r the seal. I was in a rush this time and bought a rebuilt G21 for $270. Price included shipping to me and also a prepaid mailing label to return my core pump.

http://www.nautiqueparts.com/sherwoodrawwaterpump.aspx new raw water pumps at Nautique Parts are $429.

I feel your pain, I just had a spark plug break off below the nut in my GT 40. Snapped with no wrench torque applied. I'll start a thread on this once I figure it out.

Thanks all. I did try a counter rotation bit. I do not have access to a MAPP or oxy acetlyn. I did try my crème brule torch first to heat things up, but no dice. I may try one more time (I have done a number on the bolt already...drilled completely through it). It is like the bolt has literally become fused to the pump. Also have a lead on a possible used one thanks to a forum member, but if he does not have what I need, I will call or email Joe. Thanks all!

To be clear, I need the RWP (the expensive one), and it is a Sherwood.

I think this is it on ebay for $125. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sherwood-Raw...tVZhYm&vxp=mtr

Well, maybe not. Have to inspect it very closely. The G46 model looks very similar. Hard for me to discern the differences.

Google says that wax might help the heating process. http://dsportmag.com/the-tech/educat...uts-and-bolts/

Take it to a machine shop. it'll cost you around $30 to have it extracted.

I will try that. Hopefully I have not destroyed the bolt to the point of that not being possible. It's not good.
