Could be your thermostat also. (that was my problem)

Basically, you remove a bunch of bolts on the underside of the lower unit, pull the cotter pin on the shift fork, and remove the lower unit and drive shaft assembly. Install new impeller and reinstall lower unit.

You should probably buy a Clymers manual. They only cost $25 or so. Well worth it.

Is one manual better then the other?
I have seen sevarel for around the same price.

Thermostat is right on the front of the motor, right above the top spark plug. 4 bolts, use a good strong flat head screw driver, they are in there good.

Don't forget the gaskets
