14. Sacrificial Anode Change

The anode is located on the end of the heat exchanger (Figure 18)

15. Raw Water Pump Impeller Change

• The pump is located on the front of the engine. It is either fitted to the Power Take Off
pulley camshaft drive or bolted to the front of the engine and driven by the crankshaft.
Note: The crank driven pump is a standard item on engines fitted with the optional
150A or 240A Alternator. If the engine doesn't use these alternators the crank driven
pump is an optional extra.
• Remove the pump cover plate.
• Remove the pump impeller (special tools are available from chandleries to assist with
this task).
• Note: Do not lever against the front of the pulley housing as it is easily damaged.
• Inspect the pump housing and front housing for damage or wear.
• Replace the impeller.
• Replace the cover plate gasket if damaged.
• Replace any other worn components as necessary.
