The top picture, figure #1, illustrates a drill fixture being placed in the water pump location of a 40 H.P. gearcase. Any of you that have had the water pump housing screws twist off, due to corrosion, know that it is a long, tedious, and exasperating job to remove the broken screws.

The drill fixture being illustrated in figures #1 and #2 is now available at a net price of $8.50. Unquestionably in some cases this fixture will pay for itself on the first job.

The fixture kit comes complete with - Drill Fixture, Locating Pin, and instructions.

It is simply a matter of removing the old housing by twisting the corroded screws off. (Seldom if ever will all three screws twist off). Twist or chisel the broken screws off flush with gearcase housing. Chase threads in the one good hole with a 10-24 tap. Insert locating pin, align proper hole locations of drill fixture relative to motor being worked on (Figure #1).

Clean the water pump area of all corrosion, so the fixture will seat in the housing properly. Place a rag in the driveshaft opening to keep chips out of the gearcase. Drill out broken screws with a #27 drill (Figure #2). Remove the fixture and locating pin. Tap out the holes with a 10-24 tap, and install the new pump assembly.
