Cam replacement January 17 2008 at 7:02 AM		(no login)
Response to Sounds like the impeller or the internal brass cam (both are relpacable on the Sherwood)

Thanks Paul, sounds like a worn cam could be the problem.... If I am going to pull the pump, I may as well be prepared to replace the cam along with the impeller. Is it going to be a 2 weekend job? i.e first weekend pull the pump to get the pump number, find the parts, order parts, receive the parts, second weekend install the pump. Or are the parts readily available at a local marine shop? trey
