SEA WATER POMP ROTATOR KIT
Sea water pump rotator kit for YANMAR 2GM20, 3GM30, 2GM20F, 3GM30F models. With the help of this rotator kit you can alternate (rotate) the sea water pump so the impeller side is brought to the front of the engine to make access easy for service and inspection.
In the models listed above the impeller side of the water pump faces the rear of the engine and the sea water drive belt is located behind the crankshaft V-pulley and the main drive belt.
Cooling pump failures can happen any time and when they occur the impeller and the sea water drive belt must be quickly and easily accessed. Without a rotator kit, the pump and main drive belt must be dismantled to access the impeller and pump drive belt. By using a rotator kit none of this is necessary.
After installing the rotator mount, the sea water pump is installed on the mount with the impeller side facing the front of the engine. The provided spacer and pulley help you to mount the sea water drive belt in front of the crankshaft V-pulley and the main drive belt. Use the provided thumb screws to replace the impeller cover screws to make the cover removal simple, no need of tools.
Rotator kit includes
Nodular cast iron mount with corosion resistant epoxy paint. Electrolized aluminum alloy spacer, aluminum alloy pulley. Stainless steel bolts and thumb bolts, replacement hose and allan key wrench.
