You may not need to get it here but check this site at least for reference to the right part and part number..

Find out whether you have a Sherwood or Oberdorfer pump on your motor.

The raw water pump won’t be a Kubota part.
You may have to go to Westerbeke. That’s what I ended up doing.

Re: Universal (preferably M-18) engine parts
Check to make sure which manufacturer and model pump you have and then start shopping on the internet. The Oberdorfer pump on Raven was leaking, years ago. I considered rebuilding and then decided to get a new one. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the new pup employed an O ring on the cover seal, instead of the, rather annoying, paper gasket. There are many suppliers of this pump and most will be cheaper than going through Universal. For any of the Universal parts that are not part of the marine conversion of the Kabota engine I go to my local Kabota tractor dealer and have found the parts to be about 1/3 the cost of buying them from Universal.
I am not sure if this is the pump you have but this is just one of the web sites I found in a quick search, Steve.

I know this is a horrible thing to say but look on catalinadirect.com. They have parts and complete Sherwood and Oberdorfer pumps.
