Yes stock circa 2007. The castings are pretty porous. Some sanding prep from 80 grit to 320 grit then worked on the polish lathe. All in all it took about 2 hours.

My wife caught me looking at this and I told her I could easily do this with the equipment I purchased a long time go for port and polishing aluminum heads....
I hope I didn't just put my foot in my mouth.

That looks great and a stainless scupper, your boat is getting spoiled.

You could start a business in making these! I'd pay to have mine look like that! Heck...would love to have my whole pump look like that!
X2 but I'd be happy with just the reverse gates, initially anyway. If you are entertaining the thought, let me know what you'd charge for the service (next off season on two gates) excluding shipping.
