We completed the Great Loop on our 2003 Grand Banks Classic in 2009. The 1730 pumps on the 450hp Cummins started leaking at just under 500 hours and the previous owner had them replaced with rebuilt ones just before we purchased the Boat. We had Just over 50 hours on the rebuilds and they started serious leaking water from the seal again. This time I replaced them with new ones, which was not difficult to do as there was a lot of room. We sold the boat after completion of the loop. We now have a 35 Open with 370hp Cummins which we have had less than two years and it isn't much of a surprise that the seals are starting to leak. Has any one had experience with changing the pumps on a 35 Open? The pumps look very close to the Engine mount. Before I tackle this on my own, it would be helpful to know as I am not sure that I personally want to tackle much beyond that.

Thanks
