Is replacing your impellor really this easy?

That impellor pictured does not show much wear but the blades have taken a set which they all do over time and that reduces the efficiency of the pump.

In going tomorrow n getting a new one. I done took it out now lil

Dry is bad... Just like...well I best not!!!

Don...you can do it, take your time!!!

Hahaha! Sardis ramp last week: I'm strapping down the boat when I hear a helicopter comeing...nope, it was a guy pulling up the ramp with his motor running and in gear!:ThumbsUp

I got a 60 horse Mercury and you best not even look at the key unless it's in the water or the water hose on it.

I have just bumped the starter before and messed it up.

I have changed it about 3 times that I can remember, I buy them two at a time now.

I usually put a little grease on mine to aid in getting it all in there.
