    Yamaha 2.5hp 4-strk , impeller came apart - inside engine now ?

    Was there water flow before replacing the impeller? Are you referring to the pisser when not having water flow?

    Transom Browning

    I'm an outboard guy and don't know much about out drives. What does the other side of the transom look like? If it's a water stain what would cause it to be in the shape it's in? Could it be stained from the exhaust? Does that area get hot for any reason? Have you tried to rub or wash it off...
