Doesn't matter which way you install the "NEW" impeller because the first
time you crank it over it will bend back the correct way.

My OMC seadrive flywheel and, by extension, drive shaft rotates counter
clock wise. Between the factory manual and clymer's manuals I've got
almost enough hard information to actually be of some use.

One thing not covered relating to the installation of the water pump
impeller is which way it should cup. I've installed a new one with the
cup situated so the to of the U is towards the direction of rotation.

I get a very good flow of water from the out of the outflow pipe but the
number 3 piston ate a ring. I don't think it was from overheating
but..........

Is the installation of the impeller correct, incorrect, or, though
unlikely, doesn't it matter?

Thanks
