1150 Prop removal

[KBADC]

The manuals say to remove the propeller in order to remove the lower unit. I don't understand why you have to do that just for a water impeller replacement. I have re-read the manual and I just don't understand why the prop has to come off. Can any one confirm or deny this. My best estimate of this is that the prop CAN stay on for water impeller replacement. I know someone here can give the straight up on this. Thanks in advance.

The propeller does not necessarily need to be removed to service water pump.

Perhaps your manual, and that section, applies to complete lower unit services, in which case prop removal might be easier with lower unit attached.

The SELOC manual says to remove the prop. It does not need to be removed unless you are tearing down the whole L/U.
