Looking for a raw water pump kit for my 1995 W44B.  Pump is model 033636.  Anyone have any leads as to where pump kits might be available?

Got it!  Thanks Bob.  Purchased the rebuild kit plus a new pump for spare.  Cheers!

    In process of rebuilding the W-44 raw water pump.  Have stripped the Westerbeke red off down to the bronze and will not be repainting it for inspection purposes.  By that I mean if/when the pump shaft water seal begins to fail, we will be able to detect the leak much sooner since bare bronze will quickly develop green surface corrosion.  With a painted pump, a leak can remain undetected until the paint starts to fail (if it does) and the water slinger has had a chance to mist seawater all over the engine.  Many rusted engines got that way thanks to a weepy pump.
