  • Publication number: 20200386225
    Abstract: A water pump for a marine engine includes a drive flange for rotating a drive shaft, a housing having an internal cavity and a removable cap assembly. The removable cap assembly includes a cap lock ring secured to the housing, a cartridge extending into the internal cavity of the housing and an impeller rotatable inside the cartridge. The cap lock ring and cartridge are snap-fit together. The rotatable drive shaft has splines, which mate with a splined portion of an impeller to rotate the impeller. To replace the impeller, an operator twists the cap lock ring off the housing without any tools and pulls the cap assembly away from the housing disengaging the impeller from the drive shaft. A new cap assembly replaces the worn cap assembly.

  • Patent number: 8567366
    Abstract: An intake manifold assembly for an internal combustion engine that has a modular construction and includes a base member, a runner, and a shell, wherein the base member removably attaches to the engine, and the runner and the shell each separately and independently removably attach to the base member. In another aspect, the assembly further includes a fastener for attaching the runner to the base member, wherein the shell is formed so as to retain the fastener between the shell and the base member when the shell is attached to the base member. In another aspect, the assembly further includes a bumper affixed to a surface of the base member, wherein the bumper abuts a surface of the internal combustion engine. In another aspect, the base member includes a sealing ridge that mates with a sealing groove provided on the shell.
