43 dc 1979 F/W Pump

[Canuck Dennis]

Looks like the original Par water pump, the one with brass housing is not pumping, just spins the shaft, is there a rubber impeller inside or something special ?
Finally found the exhaust fan , thanks again to the list experts !!!

It probably has a rubber impeller by your description.Take the three screws off the cover and have a look. My boat originally had a beltdriven diaphram Par pump. Tony

are you sure it's a PAR, with a brass housing ?

if it has screws on the cover then pull the cover to get to the impeller.

but usually you don't see the shaft on these... i thought hatteras mostly used galley maids ?

Yes, it's a Par with motor seperate from the pump body, pump body all bronze. Guess I have to bite the bullet and strip it out.
Tks

Original to him,when he bought the boat maybe. Kind of interesting because that type of Par pump with a pressure switch was most often used for a saltwater washdown.

My FW pump WAS a galley maid... it was the original but I replaced it in 2002 for a higher gph pump...

Well,it is a Paragon, Par Junior, 1000 buck at West Mar, rebulid kit is 224

The impellors are actually teflon discs.

Way too expensive to maintain considering it pumps the same as a good flo jet for 125 brand new. 4.5 at 45 psi.

Thanks for help as usual.
