Bought my boat last summer and finally got the balls to change the impeller. I dropped the lower unit but the water tube sleeve stayed in the upper, so I reached up and pulled this mess out.


The previous owner really roasted this thing! Guess someone ran it dry for quite a while. Luckily no other damage was found and the rest of the job went smoothly.

Big Time

Yeah, they are not supposed to look like that! Mine gets switched out every year.

Indy

I changed mine once a year too, or after I think I've sucked up some sand.
