construction
The
fresh water pump is of the centrifugal (volute) type,
and
circulates water from the fresh water tank to the
cylinders
and cylinder
head.
The
fresh water pump consists of the pump body, im-
peller,
pump shaft, bearing
unit
and mechanical
seal.
The
V
pulley on the end of the pump shaft is driven by a V belt
from the crankshaft.
The
bearing
unit
assembled
in the pump shaft
uses
grease
Cylinder
head
lubricated ball bearings and cannot be
disassembled.
The
totally enclosed mechanical
seal
spring presses the
impeller
seal
mounted on the impeller side away from the
pump body
side.
This prevents water from leaking along
the pump shaft.
As
the impeller and pulley flanges are press fit
assembled,
they cannot be
disassembled.
