broken_line Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 grease it up a LITTLE bit, wihle pushing it in rotate it the way the engine turns so they dont have to bend the right way and possibly break off, also dont loose that little pin! learned that the hard way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemac Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Don't loose what little pin?? I have not even taken it apart yet. When I remove the bolts that hold the lower unit on, is there some sort of shift linkage that I need to remove as well?? Any other tricks for replacing the impeller?? How do I know which way the engine turns?? Just bump it over with the starter??Thanks for the help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loon Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 The driveshaft will always turn clockwise.I can't recommend a shop manual strongly enough. That $30 will pay for itself 25 times over.Also, I wouldn't just replace the impeller...get the kit with the new housing, wear plate, impeller, key, cup, gasket, and bolts. I tried to save $25 by just replacing the impeller and it didn't fix the problem. Bought the kit and it worked perfect.Hannay's in St. Anthony is where I had the best luck finding in-stock parts. Otherwise boats.net is a Yammy dealer from Clearwater, FL that has prices that are tough to beat if you can wait 4 days for delivery.

setterguy Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 If you are in Forest Lake Halbergs has always been good about having the part I need. Make sure you have your model # off the motor before you go in.I've done two impellers now, one on an 8 horse the other on a 150, its not too bad. Maybe take you 2 hours tops.

boatfixer Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 It should have a 2 piece shift shaft that you will need to disconnect by unscrewing it. You will see the shaft, a long nut and a jam nut on the leading edge of the motor going down (move the shifter a little bit and you will see what I mean), count the turns or threads showing for reassembly.
