@theoutboarddr: Here is that impeller with 1925hrs on it. Amazing how the impeller can wear away at the woodruff key. Even with it slipping on the woodruff key it was still pumping water. It had reduced flow but mainly was due to the groove it wore in the plate. Stick to your maintenance schedule. Pull, grease, and inspect/replace. Once a year or 100hrs. #waterpump #springstartup #boat #mechanic #boatlife #boatrepair #outboard #yamaha #maitenance #outboards #fixit #checkthis #boatstuff #yamahaoutboards #theoutboarddr
Changing every year is overkill. I go every 3 years. Never an overheat in 40+ years of boating.

I change my impeller every year. Yeah, it might be overkill. But when you spend 15k on an outboard, I'm not going to risk it over a 35.00 per year part.

My friend has his changed every year and only uses the boat like 50 hours, maybe. I’m like dude you gotta let it get broke in before you replace it.
