The one I'm going to reproduce has a different inlet/outlet configuration. Granted, I could make it like his but it would not be an accurate reproduction for his restoration project. To accurately reproduce his like the original would be cost prohibitive. I would imagine that his will still pump satisfactorily the way it is. I will post pics along the build process.

Duane,
I've been meaning to ask about the equipment you have since the bearing housing you made does have some interesting machining on it where the hub meets the flange. Do you have the luxury of any CNC or did you just make it the old fashioned way on the Bridgeport with a rotary indexing table and hand cranking the X & Y? |

Pete, No luxury here. Having operated CNC equipment for years and being a programmer also sure spoiled me at Rolls Royce but I do it all old school My shop has no CNC stuff. Having a rotary phase converter to make 3 phase power limits my choices I am told. Still I have 240/480 volts 3 phase generated. Digital readouts are as modern as I get. |

You sure are old school with the rotary!! VFD's are the way to go these days. I've got them on several pieces of my woodworking equipment. The added features are lower power consumption than a rotary, very clean power, programmable acel & decel and what really comes in handy is the variable speed. If you add any equipment, I sure would recommend a VFD! |

Got started on the Jabsco pump today. The main body is done with the exception of making and installing the hose barbs and o-ring grooves.
Starting out with rough stock Main body machined You can see the "Cam" that is machined into the housing In this shot the impeller would turn clockwise and take the water in the left side, over the top and out the right side. |

Back on the RWP project again. The Sherwood reproduction pump is finished so I decided to finish this one also.
Set up in the lathe and cut the o-ring groove after grinding a tool for it. . o-ring installed in pump body Assembled body with cover. Need to counter sink for some flat head screws and then turn up the 1/8" brass wear plates that will go on each side of the pump housing for the impeller to ride against. They will resist wear a lot better than the aluminum parts. |

No just the cover,it's the only part that has shown wear for some reason. I have a new wear plate for the opposite side but the old one is in great shape. Maybe it's preloaded against the crank and needs to be spaced out more? I already have two washers under the standoffs. I need to see if the rubber drive star is being crushed

Gary, Without that butt set pulling your pants down anymore, you should have plenty of time to make the cover! Get a .small piece of 125" bronze from McMaster and go at it! |

The only thing I do down here is work on my tan Pete. Plus I don't have much in the way of tools either. We don't keep anything here that we'd miss if it all blew away.
Duane thanks for the offer I'll get ahold of you in the spring,I'm sure there are several others here with HM's who might need them too. This one is beyond resurfacing,the PO ran it for as long as they owned the boat,20 years. See the faint ring just below Costa Mesa? That is the back side of one of the grooves coming thru from the other side |

Stuff like this is absolutely amazing. Makes me wish I got into the tool and die business. Nice work Duane.

When people run down to the lake to see what's making that noise, you've succeeded.

Gary, Trust me on this one, it is reparable. If it is going on a restoration then it is worth saving. Duane |
