Re: lower removal, alpha1gen2
well, it went real good. R&Red the impeller w/o incodent. a 7 year old impeller looked mighty good for it's age. boat had 250 round about hours ontoit. a trailer boat run on nebraska lakes and the missouri rivers. high sand content in the river, the lake may be slightly saline too. my area is known as a salt vally. and hens feel the lakes may be brackish to a certain extent, but don't know tha for a fact. impeller was still plyable, only had stress marks on the inside of the impeller. imprller hoseing had no wear ridges. drive shaft had no deceranable wear. i was impressed compared to my model 1 drive impeller. only took 3 trys to get the drive back on too. way cool. used perfect seal on the gasket parts + dawn dish washin lub on the impeller to lub it for assembley instead of 2-4-c. which i had, but not on the job site,...........
