My 2008 MOOMBA XLV is in the water for the summer and now I’d really like to replace the impeller. I tried to pull the impeller out last week and the puller I was using was difficult to use because the “tee” handle was interfering with the muffler so I gave up when I started to question whether I should do this with the boat in the water when there was a pretty steady stream pouring into the bilge. Now that I think about it I think the water was coming from the engine and not the lake or am I worng? My thinking is that since the water pump appears to be above the waterline I shouldn’t sink the boat from the lake pouring into the boat? So the question to the group is: has anyone replaced their impeller with the boat in the water?

Thanks in advance
