Impellers are supposed to be replaced every 2 years in clean lake water , every 1 year in dirty river water. I live on a river and finaly replaced mine after 8 years . It still looked good to me . The worst thing for them is running in the drive way without water, they will burn up . The second worst thing is for them to sit for more than a year because the ears will be folded over for to long inone spot and dry out , crack and break off then you may have to take off all hoses after pump and look for pieces .

I haven't changed a Vdrive impeller, but it isn't difficult on a straight shaft motor. I wouldn't expect that it would be too difficult. I've owned a couple of Nautiques over the last 7 years, and they don't typically need replacing every year. If you crank your boat in your driveway without water circulating, it will burn up pretty quickly.

I have a '99 Super Air V-Drive.
Apparently I need to replacce the impeller. Do they go out every season??? Has anyone attempted to replace a vdrive impeller on their own? How hard is it? Looks to be in a super tight spot. Thanks. |
