B100L newbie questions

"I've fixed plenty of cars but never an outboard before so help is needed! I want to change the impeller on my B100L and after reading Ron Mack's post I think that I can manage it.What other parts will I need if I change the gearbox oil as well? Should there be an anode above the prop? And lastly, what paint can be used on the corroded aluminium parts of the body?

-pressure relief valves, if u have them i can not remember
-get a complete water pump kit with housing, this way u know everything is new
-gear oil is a must
-also replace the little o-rings that are on the fill/drain plugs also
-pull prop off and lube the shaft

as for paint go with the stock stuff
u will need to prep good also

There is a Honda dealer on the mainland, I rang him for a quotation for this work but he never bothered to ring me back!
