What works best to keep the steel impeller liner from spinning in the housing?

Mine broke the tabs and rotated enough to block flow last trip out. Had to beach it and McGiver to get back to tow rig. :facepalm:

I looked at the 91 model vs the 92 model...............The housing and impeller sure "look" the same, have you investigated using the earlier impeller for that thing? (the impeller drive shaft are the same)

If there were "tabs" that hold the impeller liner in place, I don't think you could "glue" it.....

I think you're on the fast track to an engine driven water pump......

"AMH" OMC Manual says to use OMC gasket sealer to hold liner in place. I used contact cement to the surfaces. First time out with new parts it spun after breaking the tabs.

I'll bet you still have that brass strainer laying around?!! :D

This just happened to me yesterday the liner spun on me. I used Johnson Evinrude BRP Gasket Sealing Compound 0508235

I just bought the boat and i'm pretty new to boating but this is what I used, mines an 88 though

Yeah. I still have it! I've even thought about putting it in my boat!

What I meant was, if the tabs are broken or gone, the 'glue" might not hold it.... Also, I was wondering if the older model housing and impeller might fit or work?

I installed a new liner and glued it in. Not sure why the glue and tabs didn't hold it from spinning.

Not sure about other housings being the same.
