Hey guys just wanted to let you know I completed it last night and it went smoothly except for how tough it was to pull that sucker out. I damaged the rubber. Oh well. I posted a step by step video on YouTube with 4 quick videos on how to do it. Just search for impeller replacement vdrive. Thanks for your help. Saved me 500 bucks from the dealer.
EDIT: Excellent video linked in post #15 below.Last edited by kaneboats; 07-03-2016 at 01:41 PM.

Glad to hear it worked out for you! Even with a damaged vane or two that impeller will still work just fine as a spare. So are you using the $500 "saved" to justify a new purchase for the boat?

Hey Everyone,
Here is another web site that does a great job at showing how to replace the impeller. Also, lots of other links that may be helpful if you don't know exactly what to do or if you are a first timer like me.

How often do you think you need to replace an impeller? Yes, when it looks bad, or your having temp issues, but other than that? 1x a year? every 100 hours?

i do mine every 2 years whether it needs it or not. Keep the old as a spare in the boat. Cheap insurance imo.
they never seem to want to go out in a very optimum time

That's what I do too. It's about 60-70 hrs. per year in clean fresh water. Not too worried. Probably still overkill.
My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!
