1. You just can't straighten the "grates", without having them off/out of the shoe. Then you can use a vise or just hammer them straight.


2. Drive pin out......bigger hammer, it will drive out......might have to have something "about same size as the pin".....nail always worked for me........try find one side, then the other....it will come out!!!!!

3. Jam a piece of wood, next to the impeller......I have a closed end wench that fits this nut........Righty tighty.....lefty loosey

4. Can't do, impeller, while in boat.....has to be out......

5. NEW LINER ..... doesn't look good to me..........BUT I've seen them worse.......and I don't even work in the business.

6. Hey....good news "the nozzle looks good"...and the impeller looks like it can be made to work. I lucked out, at a garage sale years ago....got 4 or 5 big files and 4 big wenches 7/8 - 1 1/2.....they have saved my butt many times over the years.

Wish I lived closer....I'd help out...

If a outboard marine shop....had all the parts.....and the person doing the work....stays "on task"....whole process....less than a hour.


No one likes to spend $$$$$$$$ but sometimes "for piece of mind" new parts are just nice.

Ohhhh one last thing.....get an extra "lock washer".....the one with the ears/tabs on it............doesn't cost much, sooner or later...you'll break a tab off.......

Good luck.......

Go Seahawks !!!!!!!

Should have bought all the makings for spinners.....I might have gone for a drive.........lol.....just kidding....
