Reply To: MERCURY KD-3 WATER PUMP

I learned a few things too…I have had several of the 1940 16 square
hole pumps apart and never realized the purpose and need for the
spring on prop shaft I also learned not to trust memory…verify by checking part or reference source.
NOW for something to ponder,,,I have been told by a very reliable
source that the brass eccentric cam may be used in place of the iron
or steel eccentric cam. I have not figured out how the grease seal
can be made to function with such a substitution. I suspect some clever reengieering is called for
