Re: newbie here

Impeller is located inside the cover on the back of the drive. Easy to change.

Trim sender is a lever on (i think) starboard side of gimbal ring raise drive to see it is a lever attached to a spring loaded pot that rides on the front edge of the drive and sends the signal.

Follow hose to blower and see. It will either be 3 in or 4 in. Some are easy to get to, some you would swear they put in before they put the top on the boat.
Don't bother trying to oil it. never works. Blower is about $20-$30.
