On a serious note....
The worst thing you could ever do for a water pump... Is crank your outboard out of water dry.. The water works as a lubricant. If you start it dry the friction will burn the ends off of your impellers. It only takes a minute. I see it all the time people cranking their engines before they put it in the lake. Wet is good... Dry is bad... Just like...well I best not!!!
Don...you can do it, take your time!!!

Ill turn it over til it cranks n shut it down instantly. I don't let it run at all just enough to make sure it'll crank

Thats not good DD...It only takes a second to damage the tips of the impellor....... Get a set of muff to put on it if you want to see if it cranks
I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

As G stated, be sure to get the blades leaned in the same direction as the one you took out, if ya dont, bad news, if its been that long go ahead and change it DD, I have had em quit pumpin on smaller motors and when I too em out they didnt look bad at all. Like Feelay said this needs to be done every two years at a minimum. JMO
