Kevin I just went through this thread from the beginning, Simply over the top
As nice as that piece is, I have a feeling I could knock out a lot of the rigging on the K boat for what one would set me back. I guess for now I should focus on functional over wow factor. But I sure do envy people that have access to that type of equipment and can knock stuff like this out. Great job.
Spent most of the weekend designing these and other parts for a 2 stage cam driven water pump. Trying to get most of it finished tonight. Uses all Mercury seals, bearings and impellers so it will be 100% serviceable anywhere.

Really nice pump. Is it made so one stage feed's the other or does it work as two seperate pumps with two more port's not shown?
So the pump is basically the same as a Hardin, KE or a Latham 2 stage belt driven pump. It uses all the seals, o-rings, bearing, wear plates and impellers out of a mercury pump so the the parts will be available anywhere. The two main impeller bodies are the same as others. The end plate, mid section, shaft bearing housing, shaft and intermediate drive adapter are all different. It has 4 of the -16 port to hose adapapters, one pump will flow to the engines and coolers and the other for exhaust only.
I was going to run my v-105 neovane but after talking to several people about the CMI headers they need much more water flow than the neovane can provide. I was looking for a cam driven pump that had 2 stages and I wasn't able to find one so I ended up with this science project.
Extremely nice work product you got going on here, thanks for sharing it with us.
Now this is some serious boating content! thx
How does the water pump mount? Are you building a bracket so it can hang from the engine plate?
You running a roller cam in that thing?
