This one gets the most use. 1973 Correct Craft Ford inboard(~45 hrs./yr): Last changed before my purchase in 1998. All used in a sandy bottom shallow lake. Rob |

The only time I've ever changed an impeller was when I noticed that the water pressure was a little low on one FICHT I had on the original Contender. It must have sucked up a piece of sea weed or something. Changing one every two years is over kill in my opinion. Other than that, I can't think of a time I've ever changed one other than an older Merc that I rebuilt one time. |

There are outboards on out lake from the 50's & 60's that have never had an impeller change-out. Rob |

Rob On the latest Yamahas and I assume on other brands, you can get a cooling water pressure display on your multi-function gauges. My guess is that if you know what your pressure usually is under varying conditions, you will be able to tell when something is amiss, such as an impeller going tits up. Maybe. :} An inspection port would be nice. |

"Chad" wrote in message news:2oUGi.86932$Xa3.86229@attbi_s22... How often do you change your raw water impellers for your motors? Mine is stainless, and I sharpen the leading edges once in awhile. but it is a jet drive. My Outboard kicker about every 3 years. I look at the pee stream also. |
