I've got another question. We're looking at the water pump and something doesn't look right about this impeller. Looking at the 37-38 manual, it looks like it should be a totally different impeller design. The one that we have on the pump sits with a large gap between it and the water inlet to the pump (almost a 1/2" gap). That can't be right. It almost looks like it's installed backwards, but even still it doesn't seem to be right for this pump at all.


Here's what it looks like:

Here's the gap between the front of the impeller and the water inlet.
