Thanks

I said marine performance but really meant maintenance and repairs geared towards performance boats.
Need to have my water pump impeller replaced.

What part of Texas are you in? Pretty much any boat repair place can handle an impeller replacement. It's a pretty simple job. Getting the pump off is the hardest part.

Thats my concern. It's in a tight spot especially the access to the inlet/outlet hoses. Here in San Antonio, marine service is almost non existent.

Do you have a recommendation for the Austin San Antonio area?

I do all my own work so never used anyone but I do get a lot of my parts from Action Marine in Austin. They have a pretty good reputation and they stay pretty busy. With the lake finally back up to normal level, they are probably even busier than normal now. Best to call first as their lot stays pretty full all year long. https://www.actionmarinesales.com/

My raw water pumps are also a pain to access due to a tight bilge and pumps being on the bottom of the engs. I discovered a while back that if you disconnect the stiff water inlet hose from the transom, after the pump is loose, you can move it forward enough to get at the hoses clamps on the pump. First time I did this, the stiff inlet hose fell down beneath the eng and was a royal pain to retrieve and get it routed properly back up to the water inlet nipple on the transom. Started clamping a 4ft section of bailing wire to the hose immediately after I disconnected it from the transom nipple and let it fall when pump is moved forward. Now I can simply use the bailing wire to pull the hose back into place (while moving the pump back into place) and routing remains unchanged.
