I’ve been thinking about something else I did to my bailer pump when it was apart and I’m sure i tapped at least one, maybe two, inlet/outlet holes in it for plugs to prevent any chance of water leaks or exhaust gases getting into the cooling system. I’m sure the bailer inlet was one and possibly another one somewhere. Or, it might have just been a thought I had before coming up with the puck idea. Not sure.

I was thinking about sealing the bailer holes with silicone,
but if my little brass 1/8″ pipe plugs would work, I might
do that.
If my o-rings for the pump and bearing for the lower unit
ever show up, I might get the lower unit back together
soon. Anxious to stick the lower unit in a bucket of water
and spin it over via a drill to see how the Honda impeller
performs.

Prepare to be boarded!
