Impeller replacment

[Skinny]

Spring is slow arriving here in ontario Canada and I am going to pull the boat out of storage. I bought the boat last fall and it is a 1996 Starcraft with a 4.3LX with an aphla drive. The boat only has 35 hours on it and I am not sure if the impeller has ever been changed. I was wondering if anyone would have instructions on how the replace it and a good site were you can purchase a kit.

thanks

It's an Allpha I Gen II drive, the instructions are in the OEM service manual.

Section 3B should cover the pump. Other sections will cover removal of the drive.

Those impellers should be replaced every 3 or 4 years, no matter how many hours are on the boat. Might want to check the ujoint bellows to. They don't last forever and it gets very expensive when they go bad.
