Do I need a whole new fresh water pump?

I have a Yanmar 3GMF whose bearing unit on the fresh water pump seared off while running, over heating the engine and the alarm went off and I shut down to discover the pully wheel sitting under the engine. I have not yet taken the pump apart, and I am wondering if I can find just that bearing unit (the pin that goes from the wheel into the pump to the impeller) or do I have to go buy the whole pump. Should I expect other damage to the pump and buy the whole thing anyway. And where would I find these parts? I had noticed that the wheel seemed loose this spring, and foolishly I did nothing about it then.

Suggest you get entire fresh water pump from any yanmar dealer, you might be able to get a rebuilt.

New pump

Your description sounds like the shaft to the internal water pump has failed. A new pump is the best way out. Individual parts are available but their installation requires special equipment and knowledge. The pump is P/N 121000-42100 @$107.18 and the gasket is 121000-42051 @$2.67. We have both in stock.
