Stephane,
Go to Torresen Marine (www.torresen.com) and click on Yanmar, then "Complete
Parts Listings by Engine. My engine is a European model, so engine number
is 3GM30F-YEU. The pump assembly is part 128397-42500 if I read it
correctly and is actually priced at $232.68. I just talked with Torresen
and they told that is the complete pump, not just a part. (There are two
water pumps listed and the other one was $245).

Hi Dennis,
Where can you find a replacement pump for 245$, here it's in the 700$
range.
Thank,
