impeller change help please.

[Dave-O]

My dad has asked me to change out his impeller on his evenrude 30 Hp. This is an electric start if that matters on his pontoon boat. A friend and I changed out mine but it was on a merc 40 hp. my Dads motor I believe is a 1984 (the model is E30ELCRR). I guess what I am looking for is a step by step to change out the impeller if someone would mind helping me out I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You so much
Dave

I hate to say it.... buy a manual , then if you have questions people here will most likely help.

It probably isn't much different from the Merc. Remove the plastic housing, pry the old impeller up and look for the key that holds it on the drive shaft, put the new impeller and key on the drive shaft, and put the housing back on. Twist the housing counter clockwise (looking down on it) as it goes over the new impeller. Look for any other worn or damaged parts during this whole drama.
