Looking for merc raw water pump with side inlet/exit not backside in/out?
Anyone aware of some like that? Need a compact dimension from serpentine pulley to back of pump body the std slip on inlet/outlet is a no go. Need something like one section of this two stage pump setup
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...8c4af23930.jpg And the setback pulley on this https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...4234561c3b.jpg And I might be able to shorten a little bit out of the assembly below to buy some more room, looks like 1/4" from end of pulley shaft is extra. Pump body & shaft |
If you call Hardin they should be able to set you up with a single stage of the pump pictured above. I have that pump and I’m turning it into a single stage and I just talked to them about it.

Hardin should be stainless

could you run two 90 degree fittings on the hardin pump? thats what i did. btw, for all the complaining on a thread about the hardin ss. pump, mine work great and look even better.

i used the teague generation 4 billet bracket that clamps around the pump housing, you can adjust the pulley depth wherever you want it.

the problem i had with the stock brackets is that they flexed at high rpm and the serpentine belt jumped off the pulley.
the clamp pressure isnt that tight, i only tightened them with a 5 inch allen wrench. could that possibly distort the housing? |

I couldn’t get the Hardin pump to prime when I put the impeller in with dish soap but pulled the impeller out and slathered it with marine grease (on the ends seemed to be imperative) and pumps like a champ now. I think that shiny stainless can be a bit too slick like glazed cylinders. |

I did the same. The stock pump bottom nipple was right in front of the engine mount and the top one interfered with the distribution tubes. A 90 on the lower and 45 for the fresh water and all is happy.
