    Early A-4 (1965)-water pump

    First of all, my water pump is working perfectly, even after sitting dormant for two seasons. However, I would like to change the impeller, but since it too has been two years since I've done it, not sure that I remember the make......although the name Sherwood comes to mind. Also, I would love to put a quick change plate on it, but they have 4 screws and mine has 6.
    Questions..... (1) does the name Sherwood mean anything, and if so, where can I get an impeller? Does MM carry them?
    (2) Can I put a quick change plate on anyway?..will the 4 hand tightened screws with the O-ring be sufficient?....has anyone done this?
    Could simply change out the whole pump.....but would rather not....if it is working, don't fix it!!!!
    Thanks.

    Sherwood supplied three pumps for A4s. Two of them were similar to the block mounted Oberdorfers and the third was used with the fresh-water conversion. The two raw-water pumps use the same impeller. In the "notes" column in my A4 parts manual the numbers L9960 and T-11165 show up which may be Sherwood #s.
    On other brands of pumps, like Jabsco's, the pump model number is on the impeller cover plate.
