Just changed mine yesterday.Change it every year just for a piece of mind and its cheap to do. No linkage on a mercury just the bolts and mine has the water pee
hose to unscrew. Takes me about 45 min. tops just make sure the impellor vanes are curved in the housing the same way as the old one and your good to go.Mines a 225 but they should be the same or real close. Had 48.00 in parts.
I put a new impeller in my Merc every other season. If I ran in shallow water with mud or sand bottom it would be every year. Nothin to it....even when Hardhuntr is watching and asking 100 questions.
Thanks Krazy! pvchief1 found me a guy here in town who will do it for $80.00 including parts! Figure on leting him do it the first time and check everything else out! Would like to stay with Mercury parts don't know of a place here in Springfield that I can get them from.
Don't know if State Farm Insurance Sucks or not! Just got the insurance on the boat for normal coverage, didn't even know that lower unit was covered until one day when agent told me it was and not to worry about Truman stumps!
About every 2-3 yrs id replace it . some of them can b a pine in the butt.i know a guy north of springfeild that can do it . he works on boats for a liven. you can pm me if you want ...
I change mine on a Merc 150 every two years. Not that hard. You should pull the prop and check for fishing line too.
Didn't think about that on the main prop, great idea! I do it on the trolling motor prop twice per year!Quote:
