Impeller replacement frequency

Jim, WHAT ??????

Call ski dim and they will tell you the part you need and send it to you. Pick up a extra just for the future. You should be able to get 2 impellers with shipping for a whopping $70.00

YEP..... $179.00 to replace it. Pissed me off like no other. I was told when I bought it that there was a 3 year warranty (front to back, side to side) just like when you buy a new car. Then they tell me 179 for a frickin impeller? WTF eh?

Jim, I could see the impeller being a maintance issue just as car brakes. I can see where it would not be covered under the warranty.

However the asking price to do this is nuts considering it's a direct drive and not vdrive.

That is why I do as much maintance items as possible, ie. changing oil, transmission fluid, changing impeller and winterizing.

Jim where is your dealer. You don't have to name it.

Dealer is in Norman, Oklahoma. "Norris Marine" I don't mind naming it, they have been wonderful so far...

alo2redmoblsv, i have not removed the impeller from my new boat with the vdrive, but after looking in there it does not look easy. Any advice.

Hey doug, this is AL02redmoblsv, I changed my login, anyway. Is your boat an LSV or XLV? and is it an 06 or older? When I replace mine, I remove the Port side engine seperator, the blower and tube and then I just remove the outter cover on the water pump and reach around with a pair of needle noes plyers. All in all it takes about 30 minutes from start to finish. The first time took an hour and a half because I did not know what to expect. Now it is just a real quick 30 minute task. Call me if you need some tips or help walking through it. (205)541-4183.
