If you have never done it I would suggest going out to http://www.boats.net/_search/partssearch.lasso?Manufacturer=Yamaha and looking at the exploded parts diagram to ID bolt placement and the see the parts. You can cut and paste the diagrams into word and then blow up the view and print out for reference as you work.

One thing I found out(the hard way) when sliding impeller down the drive shaft, make sure it is lubed GOOD!
funny, everything I read on it did not mention this little factoid.
The first time I tried to put the impeller on I thought I would have to beat it down with a hammer and piece of wood.
got it down about 2" with everything I could muster, when I realized the key was not going to line up with slot. Had to pound the sucker off, lined it up, lubed it up, it almost fell on!!!!

Live and learn!(as always the hard way) Sad
