Yanmar 721575-42702 Bronze Sea Water Cooling Pump for GM and GMF
The Yanmar 721575-42702 is the genuine bronze sea water cooling pump for the bronze sea water pump fitted to GM and GMF Series engines. It is the pump that pulls raw water in through the seacock and strainer and drives it through the heat exchanger and out with the exhaust, which is the whole basis of how the engine keeps its temperature under control.
The usual history is the same. A seal starts weeping, salt water gets past it into the bearing, the bearing goes rough, the shaft starts to move, and the impeller and wear plate wear unevenly because of it. Each step is repairable on its own, but by the time the pump is noisy or the telltale is weak, several of them have happened together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is a spare pump worth carrying?
On a boat that goes offshore, yes. A pump can be changed at sea in reasonable conditions, while a body that has failed cannot be repaired with what is aboard.
Q: What should I check after fitting?
Run the engine at the dock and watch the exhaust stream, then check the joint faces for weeping once everything is up to temperature and has cooled again.
Q: Does a new pump come ready to run?
It is a complete assembly, but check the impeller and the drive before fitting, and prime the raw water side by opening the seacock and letting the strainer fill.
Q: How do I know the pump needs replacing rather than rebuilding?
When more than one thing is wrong at once - a pitted body, a scored shaft and a rough bearing together. Any one of those is a repair; all three mean the pump has reached the end of its service life.
