Yes, the areas that I could see metal were very clean. I did both engines and my Westerbeke generator too. We had a great cruising season last year with no issues whatsoever. Like I say in the video, I had taken my heat exchanger, oil cooler and aftercoolers off about 4 years prior and serviced them. If you do not know the history on your engines I would recommend this. Once you have a track record the barnacle Buster is a great option that works well, saves time and money.
Hi Shawn, I just made a video where I used a similar product to clean my props. It was much cheaper than Barnacle Buster and I bought it at Lowe’s. Nice video… I need to run it through my generator next… Mike
Unfortunately I did not record the water pump change. I did replace the original Sherwood pumps with Sea Max pumps and have had zero issues ever since. The Sherwood ones seemed to weep after only a short time. Nice upgrade I would recommend.
Thanks for the speedy reply Shawn. Did you have to remove the motor mount bracket to remove the pump or did you go from the front end and pull the gear off? TIA

Thanks for posting
Hi. Can you specify what marine bilge pump did you switch to? GPH, make and model?
Hi Shawn. Helpful info thank you. You mentioned in the video that you replaced your water pumps two years ago. Do you have a video from that repair?

any data on whether your equipment ran cooler after the flush?
So how did it go. Did you notice a difference?
Different pump?
Nevermind I finished watching, why did the regular sump not work?
