OK, this whole o-ring thing has me worried??? My new impeller came with a gasket and o-ring. Picked it up from the dealer, did I get the right one? If so, what to do with the o-ring? I have taken on the task yet, so I may figure it out while installing the new one, but why did mine come with an o-ring and others did not?

If there is a groove in the housing that the o-ring fits into, then you would use the o-ring. If there is no groove, then you would use the gasket.

Also, when you pull off the cover, check if it has a gasket or an o-ring. That will tell you what you need to use.

How often should we be switching these impellers out? I have an 08 and I have never switched it out.

Pls check your owner's manual but I believe it says to change it every 2 years. It also says to take it out on the odd years, coat it with Vaseline, and store it in a ziploc (airtight) bag. That's where mine is right now.

When and if you replace the impeller and it has blades missing, be sure to check the inlet for the inline filter (back r/side of block, black salami looking filter) for the broken blades. Have a friend with a Supra who spent the whole year chasing cooling problems only to find out that all the broken impeller blades were clogging the intake. He took out a whole fistfull of blades, not one problem afterward. Probably a good idea anyway I found grass and a piece of bottle cap that busted off 2 of mine.

I took mine out for the Winter. Should be getting the boat out of storage the first week of May. I replaced my impeller 2 years ago and it still looks brand new. When I go to put it back in I'm going to flip it around and put it in the opposite way it came out. This way it will wear the rubber "fins" back the other way. I don't think this should hurt anything because it doesn't matter what way you install it... (On a direct drive. Not sure about V drive.) I will keep an eye on the temp gauge once I do this and see if it has any effect, but I doubt it should.
