Hey Bill272,
The first time I did it I wound up pulling the engine after I dropped the pump in the bilge
I can now do it without even standing on my head
Instead of tying this up if you want to hear my method pm me and i'll 'splain to you...it's easy

GLOBE BLUE IMPELLERS
Go for a Globe blue impeller. These impellers last for many years, in fact, it may outlast your engine!

Have not tried the blue impellers but I change mine every spring. Some years I change them twice the sand from the river gets to them. Not sure the blues will help that. I am still using the stock plastic or phenolic (spelling?) housing. I change housing and impeller and carry a spare you never know. I have found my housing gets worn and that if I don't change it every time my impeller will not last as long. Mine is much easier to change at home in the shop then out on the water.
or do you use your drives for rotor tillers

Last time out at LOTO I qeustioned how much water was comiing out temps were fine but I could tell flow was loww
next time out I had to change it on hte trailer at the marina

Now a question for all who change their own sea water pump impellers. I have the 454 MAG EFI with the seawater pump driven by the engine and coupled to the fuel pump.
The book I have says to remove the whole unit from the engine before breaking down the seawater pump.
I wonder if it is practicle/possible to just take the plastic body off the back of the unit and change the impeller without removing the pump from the engine?
Anybody tried this or have any advise on it?
