Water pump question

Regular Contributor
It's time to replace my water pump on my 90HP yamaha. There are places that sell the whole kit and some just the impeller. The question I have is when is it necessary to replace the whole kit? Is it OK to just replace the impeller? This is my first boat but I do know a little bit about motors. Thanks for any info.

In most cases a new impeller does the trick.-------------If you are running where there may be a lot of sand in the water , then you might want to consider a complete kit.
 
Thank you for the info. I removed the lower unit and see that everything else was OK. The impeller was dry rotted. Just order the impeller yesterday.
