From the sounds of things during the failure stage, this is a bad bearing on the pump. In the old days, I'd have pulled the bearings myself and replaced them. But I no longer have the tools. OTOH, the local Marine Diesel shop says they can handle it. It's not really all that big a deal, assuming it's just the motor and not the pump rotor. If it's the rotor, I'll need to order up a new one and that would take more than a little while, since it would have to come from Pennsylvania.
A glass of cheap and almost toxic white wine to go with the turkey we had tonight.
