Sea Water Pump


Replacing the water pump impeller on my 60 hp Beta, is there a recommended Torque setting for the s/s bolts holding the round cover plate, the housing looks to be made of brass so one is always aware of the possibility of stripping the threads. My old engine/water pump had slot headed bolts so it was impossible to get heavy handed.

Hello Zoe,

There is no torque setting for this small hex head screw.
The seal is is made with an o-ring behind the pump cover so overtightening would make it seal any better.
Tighten no more than you would using a screw driver or a hand held nut driver.
