Hi Lee, I am also thinking of installing a washdown and live well in my 228. Can you tell me what pump you installed to handle both the washdown and livewell?
Thanks
Jim
Hi, I had the same thing on my 1989 150 Yamaha 2 stroke. The bushing just above the water pump broke apart and scored the shaft. Although it was difficult to take apart, I never changed the shaft and never had a problem.
