Hi George and Kim, any competent fitter and turner can build up the shaft and turn it in a lathe to original specs. I recently did this with the shaft of the salt water pump on my volvo TMD 22. A new shaft from volvo was quoted at NZ$500, a complete pump at over NZ$1000. Had the rebuild done for NZ$80. Rgards Danny and Yvonne SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Leaking from the impellor housing is caused by pitting on the impellor shaft, the seals are fine, however how can the shaft be repaired or replaced or can the pump be replaced with an after market pump and if so, what brand?
