Doughy Baker Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Good Morning All. Does anyone have part number for a prop pump housing sling? Any help would be appreciated. Rgds to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyclark Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 You mean the valve housing? There\'s a handle for that, HS5777 listed in the old B-2-11. I see no mention of a sling anywhere, or any lone procedure for removing the pump housing by itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughy Baker Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hi Tiny, Thanks. I have the valve housing lifting handle. I have only seen the pump housing sling once before and I\'m sure that it was locally manufactured, however, one of the youngsters was asking me whether there was such a sling. If there was such an official item, I\'m sure that someone who visits this site would know about it. Your help is appreciated, thank you.

Steve1300 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I was awaiting an answer as well. I make my own \"sling\" out of some 900lb nylon line and a couple aluminum angles that will go onto the valve housing mount studs. I find that a pump housing is too awkward and heavy to hold up with one hand while working with it. If anyone knows of a better method, I\'m all eyes! :woohoo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughy Baker Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hi Steve, Thats pretty much the way I have always done it too, plus a whole lot of swearing. I find it particularly difficult to keep the pump housing square to the tailshaft as it is being pulled on. Rgds to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1300 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I don\'t use the sling for pump housing installations at all. It is just so that I can work on the pump housing and accessing both sumps at the same time. I probably should design some kind of rigid stand for that, but then I\'d have a tougher time installing the afterbody mount collar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughy Baker Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Wotcha Steve, We have a locally manufactued cradle for working the pump housing whilst it is removed from the propeller and it works well, both sumps can be accessed with the minimum of handling. Have you an address where I can post a picture ? If so, I\'ll send the details to you.l Rgds To All Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
