Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines Water pump ?

Hello All,

When I go and try to find a water pump for my 56 235, it always ends up with a long shaft. The pump I am replacing now had a long shaft that had the hub pressed down and then cut. Why do I have to do this? The Napa listing shows 2 pumps for the 235, the long shaft and the pre 54? unit.

What gives.

Thanks

Luis
