[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 378433, member: 13599"] My line of thought is that [b]IF[/b] there is nothing more to change than the impeller, 30 minutes. IF you have the new one on hand to do the job. a problem that may arise is the water pump housing may be corroded to the point it must be replaced. Shaft is worn so bad, it must be replaced also. The shaft seal may need replacing. So, with all the gremlins lined up, you may be off line for a week to wait on new parts. I just found a new trick about salvaging the pump shaft [url]https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=37129[/url] Dropping the lower unit foot has nothing to do with other mechanical problems such as with the engine or carburetor. So if you are putting "time and effort" into this one project, once done, you go on to checking the other issues that may show up. [b]MAKE SURE you read up on how to make the shift linkage adjustment prior to messing with it.[/b] [/QUOTE]
