    Here is the first look at the impeller The sleeve that fits into the upper WP housing seems to have worn a groove . Should it be replaced ? Also to take the drive shaft out you have to take the little screw out of the bottom of the DS right ? The only need to take the shaft out would be to...

    Hang in there Gm you’ll get it splashed soon enough . Gotta take care of the life stuff for sure first .. I agree with Racer .. Try and locate the parts needed to convert to short shaft would be best option ..

    Transom

    You don’t have to take the skin off . It’s just easier to get it good and clean for best possible adhesion if you do open it up .. reuse the old inside skin or laminate new . You must add the spacers to keep its shape and finish thickness .. Make your own spacers or buy the pre made ones ..
