Hi,
I just had my water pump (impeller) let go on my Vire 7. Thought I had purchased a suitable replacement a few years ago, only to find out that it's too big. Has anybody seen a suitable replacement for this? The Westerbeke part number is 18212 but it doesn't seem that anyone has this available any more.

The measurements on the impeller are 9/16” wide x .460 ID x 1.250 OD with a square keyway .075” wide.

Thanks for the help,

Greg

Got one earlier this year from Hansen:

Hello Peter,
Yes we do have vire impellers in stock, the part number is 18212 and list price is $38.89. Please let me know if you would like to purchase, thank you.

When I ordered my spare impeller he didn't have any gaskets and didn't think he would ever get them again.....what will you use as a replacement?

Had one gasket on hand from the previous owner. It's a .010" thick paper gasket. I'm sure someone out there offers gasket sheet material that you could use and take your pump housing to pattern it.

Put the new impeller in tonight. Running like a champ.

Try bombardier (sea doo) They used to have many compatible parts with the virde. Do you know where I can get an ignition coil?
