i did a search and i don't see anything on my issue.
tonight while running the boat -- i noticed water on my engine hatch. upon further inspection i see water coming out of a small hole in the circulating pump. I'm assuming this is some sort of pressure releif????
what do i need to do ?
i ran the boat for about 10 minutes -- never got hot or anything -- but water still came out of this small hole
thanks guy's

Don't worry. It's a fairly easy replacement. New pumps are easy to find. Just be sure to get the marine version as it has brass and stainless steel internals.
Pull the belt(s), unbolt the pump, carefully scrape and clean the gasket area, add gasket sealant and bolt up the new pump. Takes less than 1 hour (and that's with a cold brew or two during the job!)

yeah it doesn't look too bad
i'm trying to track down a pump locally -- do you know who would carry such a thing?
i've called a couple boat repair places -- no luck yet
