Not to mention tbe slow, boring ride home on 1 engine when it fails and wondering if the other one will last long enough to get back to the lift / trailer.

I guess I'll swap 'em out. I'll be making runs to Catalina, 40 miles out, so don't want to risk it. Like you all said, cheap insurance.

Drives and motors were serviced before it was put up but will probably change the oil anyway.

It has 7.4 Mags with 320 hours. (How come there is no thumbs up smiley face?).

Thanks for the advice.

good info here,i had a boat in the shop recently for a coupler replacement,the owner was telling me he had a shop replace the wp impeller because the water temp was getting hotter than normal,he said it was still getting hot even after the impeller replacement.i had the engine out so i decided to check the coolers for debris,the ps cooler was packed full of broken&burnt up impeller pieces and what looked like sea shells,it was so bad i don,t know how any water was flowing past the cooler.

I would run the boat a day or 2 to see if there's other things to put on the list. Just go run it local

Your will have to change your title to Bajablown if you don't change them. I just ran 44 miles at 82 mph with fresh impellers in 48* air temp. Change your impellers. Cheap insurance. Good luck if you don't!

One tow would probably cover the cost of replacing the impellers....Once you puke the impellers, keep the wallet open for the extra work to clear the coolers... assuming the tech's get all the shards out and that is the end of the cooling problem.

Even if they do not disintegrate, after sitting for 2+ years, they will have taken a set shape and are no longer efficient = new impellers are required.... change them out and reset the clock back to "0" hours and go boating w/o worry!

Heading to the Catalina Wine Mixer?

Being that is a salt water run, I would change the impellers, the anodes, the batteries, the gimbals, the props, the prop nuts, the trim tabs, the rub rail and all the deck hardware just to be on the safe side!

Thanks I am one that would rather do preventative then repairs. Always seem cheaper in the long run.

Changing the impellers is just about the cheapest thing you can do when it comes to boating, I changed mine every spring without fail.
