What Impeller to buy?

[61fish]

I want to change the impeller on my 1970 Evinrude 85 hp starflite. Model no 85093B. I wanted to just buy one off this site but which one? A friend told me I should buy a water pump kit and replace everything. Is that recommended and can I get the parts online? I did call a local dealer and he said the complete kit is 90.00 is that about the norm?<br />I also picked up a Clymer manual which seems somewhat vague. Can anyone tell me if this is an easy job or is there any obstacles in the way?<br />I appreciate anyones input.<br />Thanks

Re: What Impeller to buy?

61fish, I just changed the impellor in my 71' 9.5. Anytime your dealing with older motors there is room for problems to crop up. Although the procedure is pretty simple, you can run into siezed bolts, stuck drive shafts etc. I just put in the impellor($20), but the kit would probably be a good idea.
