In the gap in the main housing where the shaft is exposed it's dripping and at normal revs sprays seawater over the engine.
I've managed to get it off and with a machine shop mate's assistance have stripped it down to the essentials. There is a water seal and two encased bearings one of the bearings is knackered because the water has got past the seal.
Good news is - there is a "service kit" available. seals bearings etc..
Will post pics if anyone is interested in the pump diss-assembled.
