Oberdorfer 12070 Service Kit – Fits 993-03
Pump rebuild kits exist because the parts inside a pump wear as a set. The Oberdorfer 12070 packages the components that are expected to be replaced at overhaul for one specific pump family, in this case 993-03, which removes the guesswork of cross-referencing half a dozen individual part numbers against a parts breakdown.
Replacing wear parts on a schedule costs less than replacing them after a failure. A seal that is merely tired weeps a little; a seal that has failed outright can let raw water into a bearing or let the pumped fluid where it does not belong. On a boat that difference is the difference between a planned job on the dock and an unplanned one under way.
Kit contents vary by pump model, so check the components against the parts breakdown for your pump before you strip it down, and have the kit in hand before the pump comes apart. Note the orientation of every part as it comes out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need any parts beyond the kit to finish the job?
Usually not, but gaskets or fasteners that are damaged on removal are worth having on hand. Check them as the pump comes apart.
Q: How often should a pump be rebuilt?
Duty decides it. A pump on continuous raw water service wears faster than one that runs occasionally, so go by observed flow and seal condition rather than a fixed calendar.
Q: Can I reuse the old parts that still look serviceable?
Elastomers take a set once they have been compressed and rarely seal as well the second time. If a component is in the kit, fit the new one.
Q: Should the pump be tested before it goes back in service?
Yes. Run it on a bucket or an open circuit first and confirm it primes, holds flow and stays dry at the shaft before it goes back into the system.
