Impeller change out

#1

1.5 hours and 2 Pepsi's , it was a piece of cake and once again the Camera was left in the house [ Sorry JW ] but the process is VERY simpleand it helps GREATLY to have 2 people to reattach.

When going back together if it fits right it slides RIGHT BACK TO GETHER no fighting.

On the honda BF225 , remember to cut the Zip Tie [ small one ] and gently put speed tube apart BEFORE dropping the lower unit. The bottom half of the hose will go with the lower unit when taking off .

I think I/we can do it in 30 to 45 min. next time.

So how does the old one look? Trying to remember, you've got 285+ hours on it, right?

Save it, I want to look at it tonight or on Sunday.

Thanks,

294 hours , it was still soft and plyable but had a good memory, might have made it another year BUUUUUT 30 or 40 miles offshore , I want a new one in there.

Oh yes! No doubt about it. I was just curious as to the condition of the old one as we've known it since it was brand new. :)

Did Mike & Scott give you a hand replacing it? You were supposed to wait for me. :lol:

Grab yer tool kit and lower unit guts and C'C'mon down!

I've done my fair share of lower unit rebuilds, and hear that "shimming" those gears and such is a big deal. I never paid much attention, and just did what the book said. And they never broke again after I did it.

Some times it's better to be lucky than good, huh?

BTW, the CD's are expired, can ya believe that?
There's a built in date code or something and you can't even get in them to see anything. Just throws up a window that says they're expired and call the publisher for new ones...and have that $$ ready.

Oh well we tried.

I'd assume that the Hydraulic steering cylinder end cap changes were tougher? They were for me. Messy too.

I'll just get a book someday, when I have an extra $115.00 I want to spend.

The end cap changes were a piece of cake , I didn't loose more then a teaspoon from each side.

If ya turn the motor all the way one way then work on the opp. side , the valve is closed off ..
