Hi Respected Owners We installed a Universal 5411 Fresh Water Conversion Kit in 1981. It has a Sherwood Pump on it and I would like to replace it this Spring. The pump is mounted on the back of the engine on the power takeoff on the back side of the salt water pump location. Very very difficult to get to but that is what I am stuck with. Does any owner know what pump that is? I can not find a picture on the internet of the rear mount. The 5411 M-12 seems to have been changed to a front mount kit belt driven. I would like to change to a new pump but the dimensions from Oberdorfer do not match up.
I would like to have the pump ready to go in April when we uncover the boat. I'm thinking that I might be stuck replacing the seals shaft and impeller in the existing pump and putting it back in? I would be grateful if any Universal 5411 (vintage) owners can advise how to find the right pump before uncovering the boat. Depco was terrific and was kind enough to offer to send a Oberdorfer pump that I could return if it does not fit
Worst case will be the pump rebuild when I can get to it. Best Regards Pat 1981 E28+ Universal 5411.
