Access to the Johnson raw water pump on my BUKH DV10 was very easy and I decided my best option was to buy a spare pump [they were quite cheap at the time], which was stored on board and could be swapped for a defective one in a few minutes: only 2 clamp bolts and 2 hose clips to deal with.

That is not a bad move. On my 2 round UK (via the canal) trips I encountered a yacht held up waiting for a new water pump to be delivered on the west coast, as well as two yachts waiting for fuel pumps.
I saw an offer on fuel pumps at less than half price so bought a spare.
It is the best way of making sure the existing one never fails.

Funny enough I have one in my spares box that came with the boat. Pointless in my case as on the 2QM15 you have to remove the pump to get to the seal.

It's been saying that for some time. "Soon" has many definitions.

I always kept a Chinese copy of a Facet 'red top' electronic motorsports fuel pump on board. Easy to hook into any circuit relying on a lift pump. Two fuel pipes, two wires. Must be good insurance - in 8 years we never needed it!

From ebay or Amazon they are under 20 quid.

I fitted one of there pumps into the suction side of each of my fuel tanks to use then as prime pumps with a push button, but I changes the witch to a on / off. spring off so I could use then as a fuel supply pump if the engine lift pump failed
