    will do the fingernail paint … good idea and nothing has been damaged or stripped bolt of link wise

    Another question….
    the fat rubber grommet that sits on top of the impeller housing and which mates with the "tube" going up the driveshaft cavity …

    is that grommet suppose to be acting as a true water seal because mine’s inside diameter is about 1.5 times the size of the drive shaft itself
    which presumably would let pressured water to squirt up the tube. is this normal for "cooling" the housing or should that grommet inside diameter be equal to the outside diameter of the drive shaft ??
