      I bought a 1948 Zephyr 4404 up at Rocky Hill this weekend. What type of water pump is in this model year?

      I have a manual for a 4429-4431 can it be used with the 4404?

        Should be a metal impeller that doesn’t make contact, so firing it up dry for a minute or so shouldn’t hurt it.

            The pump must be under water in order to start pumping.

              This one has the right angle drive on the lower unit. What type of oil or grease should be used in the lower unit? Are there any other quirks I should be aware of??

                I like John Deere Corn Head Grease as a substitute for Evinrude’s Outboard Special underwater grease.

                  Thanks Guys.

                  My Uncle Bill had one after WW-2 and it was still running until the early 1960’s as I recall. I hope to have some fun with my cousin working on this project. I gave Uncle Bill an original owners manual tonight. He is 87 and in rough shape at the moment. Lord willing he will live to see it run.
