We have an older Westerbeke 12.5 WMD generator aboard Stella Maris. It’s developed a leak in the raw water pump which seems to be coming from somewhere near the forward-most part of the shaft—not the impeller cover. It’s still pumping plenty of water and I can rig a funnel and bucket which will handle the leak for hours—perhaps days—so it’s not overly large. Can someone with modest mechanical skills rebuild a pump like this or is it better to send it to a shop or replace it?
