Agree, the raw water pumps seem to be the weak spot for the engines.... I've changed both on my 6CTA's to the latest version from Sherwood, 1730C. Also looked at using aftermarket "SEABOARD" raw water pumps as they claim to have re-designed the shaft seals which is the weak spot of the Sherwood pumps...... BTW CAT 2116 use the same Sherwood pumps (different gear) and have the same problem, shaft seal leaking...... Hopefully they solved the design issue with the latest version (1730C)..... M2C
