Archived from groups: rec>boats (more info?)
Hi everyone,
I have a 20' Regal bowrider with a 4.3 engine I/O. My question is I have
a leak in the water pump and it needs to be replaced. Do I need to buy a
water pump from a marine parts store or can I get it at an automotive store?
Is there any difference in the part purchased at either store? Or is it just
the price?
Thanks, Ken

The marine one is more corrosion resistant. If you boat only in fresh water
the automotive one will still last a long time.

I use the boat only in fresh water, but it sounds like the automotive part
will work just fine. Thanks

Just make sure all the fittings are the same. The automotive may have an
extra fitting that the marine does not have.
