Impeller Removal and Installation

REMOVAL
1. Shift outboard to NEUTRAL (N) position.
2. Remove spark plug leads to prevent engine from starting.
3. Remove the water intake housing that is fastened with six screws.
4. Straighten the bent tabs on the impeller nut retainer and remove the impeller nut.
5. Pull impeller straight off the shaft. If the impeller is tight, use a hammer and block of
wood to rotate the impeller (clockwise) on the shaft until the keyway is directly above
the flat on the shaft. This will free the jammed key and allow removal.
