Improved Sea Water Pump Now Used{1361,1371}
Usage:
3208 Marine Engines
Description of Change: An improved auxiliary pump group including a different pump assembly is now used on 3208 Marine Engines. The new pump assembly has a bearing housing with seals at both ends to give protection to the bearing. With the former pump assembly, water some times got in the bearings. The result was corrosion and possible bearing failure.
Adaptable As: The new auxiliary pump group and lines group, used together, are a direct replacement for the former auxiliary pump group and pump assembly which are canceled.
