I mentioned in my other thread that I bought a replacement water pump. I opened it up and it is in great shape, but when I opened my old pump, for comparison, I am thinking I may have bought a knock off. Both impeller covers say "Indmar" and have the same markings, but there are 3 things that make me think it my be a knock off:
1) The replacement uses an insert to create an "oval" bore.
2) The machining on the end of the shaft (of the replacement) is much rougher.
3) No pic, but my original impeller says Johnson on it, and has a part number. The replacement has nothing.
I'm using it regardless. I'm just curious if the replacement is "normal".
