[Alberg30] To all Grey Marine Owners on the List

[George Dinwiddie]

Yes, this shouldn't be a difficult repair.  I don't know the waterpump 
on the Grey, but on the Atomic 4, there are two seals (not O-rings) 
where the shaft goes through the pump housing.  These are what need 
replacing.  Most people bend the last 1/4" of an old screwdriver to 90 
degrees to make a tool for driving out the old seals.  Check the shaft 
before you order.  If it's worn or scored, replace it, too.

Actually, I like having a spare shaft.  It's easier to put the new 
impeller on the spare shaft and then replace shafts, than to replace the 
impeller on the boat.
