496 sea water pump question
I'm replacing the impellers on my 04' 496 H.O.s and I need to know if I have an old style housing or a new style housing. When I took it appart the pully came off with 1/2 of the housing along with the impeller inside of it. The back half remained in place connected to the inlet and outlet hoses. The back half that connects to the hoses is slightly grooved. So is the other piece that the impeller sits in. I would rather not replace both housing and cover if I don't have to. What are my options?

I would get the rebuild kits for the 496 pumps. I ordered mine from JC Marine in Havasu and it comes with everything you need including the impeller. Much cheaper than buying new pumps.

It looks like JC Marine sells the R&R rebuild kit. Definitely the way to go.
