[C320-list] Fresh water pump for Perkins Engine Hull 78

[JeffWillis111 at aol.com]

Hey Jeff
 
I assume by your hull number you may have a Perkins.  I have hull 174  and 
replaced fresh water pump last October.  Very easy job to do  yourself.   I 
purchased a new pump from TADiesels in VA.   I  buy a lot of Perkins parts 
from them.  They are very helpful with  great service and prices.   I plan to 
send my old pump to a company  here in Florida that rebuilds them to have 
on board as backup.  I cant  remember the name but if you search the 320 site 
you will find reference to  it.  
 
If you do fresh water pump yourself, I would recommend replacing the  
thermostat at same time.  Again, TADiesels was able to get me everything I  
needed to do this.  It will also be a great time to pull the heat exchanger  core 
and inspect for clogged openings.  I also replaced the lower coolant  hose 
-" U-shaped" at same time I did pump.
 
 
Good luck,

My fresh  water pump (not the raw water pump/impeller) died on me and I 
needed to either  buy a new one or get mine rebuilt.  Any suggestions where to 
buy or if  you’ve been successful getting it rebuilt?
