I will be installing a rebuil

I will be installing a rebuilt Alpha 1 lower unit in my '88 Starcraft Islander. The only thing that was not done to the rebuilt was installing a new impeller. Will it be easier to do before or after the lower unit is installed? Also looking for any advice or tips on installation. Thanks.

On the link I posted for you, you will have to navigate down the page to the HELP download section and through the list to the water pump section. "

" Tom and Buck,
I used the info link to aftermarketmarine. Thanks a ton! My 88 Capperal 198CXL w/4.3 Merc. I/O Alpha One has been hung up all season due to installing a water pump and not being able to line up the shift shaft on reinstall. I just printed out the instructions and will give it a try. I couldn't find any pirates who had seen it done, and we have been bumping our heads trying. Michigan summer is the greatest for boating, but short season, I need to get going. I think this really helped. Went to St. Joe yesterday on a friend's 33 Carver and it was fantastic! We swam in 60' of water 2 miles out in Lk. Mich. it was 70 deg. water, 88 air. My kind of day. Maybe see me in Port Huron 7/12 at the Mackinac sailboat race. It is the biggest squirt gun fight I have ever seen. Good scenery too.
