Water pump impeller? Good idea if it's more than 2 years old or if
you've been through sand or mud.

It is actually a good idea to drop the foot once a year or so, just to
be sure you can. Use antisieze (I like Neversieze silver) on the bolts
when you go back.
Same with the prop but pack the splines and hub with a good marine
grease. Try to have it completely full so water can't get in to
corrode stuff.    I use a graphite compound for the propeller splines.  Much surer way
   of getting the prop off in the future.
