Replacing the "whole pump" is just as easy as the impeller--If there is any wear I put in new wear plates, seals, and housing anyway.... _________________ Bob Austin

Thanks guys. Glad to get some learned opinions.
I also get a great side benefit.....it increases my confidence that this new mechanic is to be trusted. Trust and confidence are always issues when going to a new mechanic (at least it is for me). |

I have a 2008 Yamaha F250TXR on a 2008 Grady White Tournament 225. I use the boat in the Ohio River and Lake Cumberland. All fresh water use. I replace the impeller after every three seasons as part of summerization. That way the impeller blades don’t take a “set” over the winter. The engine has 326 hrs. on it and I have never had a problem. I bought the boat new and obviously don’t put a lot of hours on it but age is as important as usage when it comes to water pump impellers. You don’t want the blades coming apart and fragments going where they shouldn’t. _________________ USCG 50 Ton Inland Master w/Towing
