AHA, now you are getting someplace.  That is freeze damage, caused by expansion of ice.  I’ll wager there is more cracking somewhere, letting air or exhaust leak into the intake side of the pump.   Those are great water pumps, but lousy air pumps.

Mmmm……As I suggested back on July 23.

All right Frank, don’t rub it in. So I went the long route…… ha ha.

Don, I guess you’re right, I won’t waist my time with JB Weld. Will look for a good used case.

I guess this is all on this long post for now. Hopefully will have a strong water flow with a new gear case, and impeller and plate sealed properly.
Will report back next summer when I get it all back together, and can test on the boat.
Thanks again,
Bob D

Nobody is “rubbing it in” buddy.  Trust me, we have all been in this position, many times.
