Hello Ross, I have a 38 Twelve and I had a look at the water pump installation. I have not removed my water pump but it would be scandalous to have to pull the front clip etc to remove it. I would have imagined that it would be as for a 37 or 38 Super Eight where there appears to be no room, but once you remove the fan blades and undo the water pump mounting bolts the pump has sufficient room, with the narrow impeller, to be removed from the front. We recently had a 37 Super with a broken water pump shaft and it was difficult to diagnose but came out fine. I would be extremely surprised and disappointed if it did not remove as per the Super Eights. There looks to be enough room to achieve this. Good Luck Peter Toet
