Impeller Removal
I am going to replace the impeller on my boat that I recently boat used. I need to know how to go about this, do you use a pair of needle nose pliers and grab around one of the rubber fins on the impeller or is there another way to go about this. Thanks alot for the help.

I take needle nose pliers and stick one side in the brass end of the impeller and the other in between two fins and then just pull and wiggle it like hell!

You can also use two screwdrivers. Stick them in between the blades on opposite sides of the impeller and gently pry both sides at the same time. Mine came right out using this method and it shouldn't tear the blades. You can use it as an emergency spare.

Also, be careful not to apply too much torque to those 4 lil' screws. You can strip the threads out of the holes or twist the head of the machine screw off.

Ed’s suggestion works like a charm. I have found that Aero Kroil from http://kanolabs.com/ works better then WD-40.
Good luck, E

What I found works best is two paint can openers from your hardware store. They do not damage the impeller. I pull mine every winter and put a little dish soap in a ziplock bag. Mine is good for about 3 seasons this way with about 50 hours a season.

On the lower front of the engine right off the drive shaft. About 4 inches behind the ski pylon as the pylon gets in the way a bit when getting the screws out. There's an "O" ring on the front cover and I can't remember if the replacement impeller comes with a new "O" ring.
