bumping this thread for when I tackle this.... some good info here, any new insights? Freeflow, If your arrangement is the same as mine then just getting to the water pump is a nightmare. You will need a very bright, freestanding LED light to get enough illumination on the job and be very careful removing the face plate retaining screws - I had one engineer in too much of a rush and he stripped the head off one. Which meant getting the pump off the engine to drill out and fit a new screw. This ended up with the engine being lifted off the rear mounts!! Have an impeller puller onboard that allows you to remove the old one smoothly and cleanly without doing damage. Its just the location that makes everything so difficult. My last boat I could change the thing inside 15 minutes but this is a different story altogether thanks for the reply I did change my impeller a couple months ago I had a polar to get the old one off and I made sure to use a actual Yanmar impeller with the internal threads and the simple yanmar bolt puller. it really wasn't that bad of a job I did it in under 30 minutes also replaced all the bolts are screws for the cover plate
