A rebuild of my recently failed wet pump was quoted at $800.00. Relatively speaking, a brand new dry pump looks to be a bargain @ $500.00 My vac unit for the left engine is mounted on the bottom end of a "T" which also drives the hydraulic pump. I'm considering swapping the wet pump off the right engine -which is mounted directly to the accessory case - and replace that pump with the dry unit. By mounting the dry pump on the right engine it would attach to the back of the engine in the conventional manner. Comments?

This will be on our agenda the next time we go to South Africa.

They are much more reliable and last much longer.? Also, there is no approved replacement for your application.? On another note, what propellers do you have??? I have a pair of "MV" propellers that I believe will fit your airplane.? No AD inspection.? They are like new and have about 200hr since O/H with new hubs, clamps and bearings.? ? jb -----Original Message----- From: Gary Moshluk Sent: Sun, Aug 16, 2009 11:38 am Subject: Commander-List: wet pump vs. dry Has anyone switched from wet vacuum pumps to the dry variety.?
