Default Kpm Racing Raw Water Impeller

Just bought the KPM Racing raw water impeller kit from Trick Marine. Looks nice and it guaranteed to run with no problamo for a year. They claim they can run dry for 24 hours! Anybody try them out yet?

I've got one and it works very well. It required some new holes in the bracket in order to work, but no big deal.

I've got a couple of these on the way, too. My current pumps have a bracket with a circular band that clamps around the neck of the pump, and a bolt at the bottom end to cinch it down. This allows for fine tuning of the belt alignment.

Is the neck of these pumps the same size and same diameter as a stock Merc raw water pump?

Thanks,
Brian

Thats a fine looking pump. My question is regarding the front side. Does the neck, drive shaft, and pulley come from my old pump? If so, I'm in good shape.

Thanks,
Brian

The pump looks really good. Whose impeller does it use? What's the cost for a pump with fittings,etc to swap out the Merc stuff? Thanks, Lou

KPM told me that merc. impellers could be used as a second option in the pump. Don't know if that is code for they are the same impeller or not.

Globe Rubber Products makes a line of run-dry impellers--they claim 15 minute dry run time -- http://www.kfgi.com/nav.php?products_impeller
