Sherwood 12859 Seal & Seat Assembly
The Sherwood 12859 is a mechanical seal and seat assembly molded in buna (nitrile) rubber, used to rebuild the shaft seal on several Sherwood raw water pump models. A worn seal and seat is one of the most common causes of a raw water pump leaking or losing prime at the shaft, so this is typically replaced any time a pump is rebuilt.
This assembly fits the Sherwood G30-2B, G45-1, G7B, M71, G151, K75B, G21, and G9901/3 pump series.
