The shaft and coupling of the Jabsco 29500-1001 Sea Water Pump were destroyed by what I believe to be the mis-alignment of the pump and coupling when the pump was refurbished two years ago by Evros Marina, Leros Island - after approx. 120 hours usage.
Having now had to purchase a new pump and coupling, I have to refit the pump and get mobile again. It proved more cost-effective to purchase a complete new pump than to purchase the components required for a service plus the technician/workshop time costs.
The Perkins Workshop Manual specifies the use of a special alignment tool to align the pump mounting bracket and plate, which seems to be the obvious thing to do if I do not want to destroy another pump shaft.
Has anyone had a similar problem who could provide some advice as to the problems and pitfalls coming my way ?
