changing impeller on honda 9.9?

[zackblain]

Well spring fever hit me hard today so I went out and hooked up my 2005 honda 9.9 to the muffs to make sure she was still runnin like a top. Ran great but never spit any water out after about a minute so I shut if off. I opened up the covers for the impeller and there were bits of rubber so I pulled the lower unit off to find a ruined impeller. I have everything out and plan to go out to seagars in canandaigua monday to purchase another impeller.

 

Is there anything else I should replace while I've got the lower unit off? I assume it should go back on the same was it came off.

 

Thanks in advance, Zack

don't forget to change the lower unit fluid.

don't forget to change the lower unit fluid.

just did that last week, this shouldn't affect it right?

[steelydan]

no, it does not effect it. just a reminder. check the seals, if any, that are in the water pump housing. make sure no water got in the new fluid. there may be an o-ring or gasket in the water pump housing that needs attention. i am not that familiar with honda.
