Impeller on 3hp Folding Evinrude/Johnson?

[lindy46]

Where is the water pump/impeller on the 3hp folding outboards? Is it similar to the non-folding models? I'm just wondering, if it folds it must be above the hinge, as the water tube can't fold. Thinking of buying one I saw on Craigs List.

I believe they are still in the same location and still use the same impeller as the non folding models. I think Scott Attwater was the only company crazy enough to mount the impellers above water.

Yep, the impeller is in the same place as the non-folders....
