My marine air P500 ac pump failed. Does any one know why they fail. It seems to be fail proof as a magnetic motor. Its draws 2.1 amps but will not turn the impeller. The impeller turns ok. Just wondering why they fail. Thanks for any input.

Thank you for the replies. Going to try and slide it off, i can get at the bolts and there is plenty of room.
seems like a possibility. Yankeedoodle

Getting ready to change out my stb. eng. can i just remove the engine only or does the gear have to be removed with it? It is a mercruiser 5.7 350 gm with( v drives.) i have it stripped down and ready for removal. It looks as though i can just slide it off the gear. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks !

Lost my starboard engine at my dock. Very lucky because I had just returned from a trip to Charleston. I removed the head and it has water in it and the engine is frozen. My question is do I have to change the manifold with the riser? The manifold appears to be OK but i want to be sure. Is there any way to check it. I have a 1991 SEARAY 280 Weekender with 5.7 260 hp, 350 cu engines with v drives.
also does any one know the rotation of the starboard engine with a v drive. Thanks for any info. Going to install a remanufac. long block.
You don't have to change the manifold but why would you not replace it after spending all that money on a new engine? There is no way to be sure of how long it will last. You could pressure test it but that only means it is good or bad right now. Standard practice in the industry is to replace the manifolds and risers when the engine is replaced, and many shops recommend replacing them at two years regardless of whether they have failed or not.
Your stbd engine is likely opposite rotation of your port engine. Stbd engine is usually but not always a right hand rotation, but v-drives and counter-rotating transmissions can complicate figuring it out.
