Hi,
I just replaced the impeller on both 1999 Yamahas 150 OX 66 lower units. But now the shaft feels tight when I turn it by hand (about the same on both units). I followed the instructions form other postings online and I used Yamaha parts. I put a new impeller, new housing new base and gaskets. I also put some marine grease on the impeller and a little inside hosing and base. I did turn the shaft clockwise to ensure the fins are in the right direction. However, when I turn the shaft by hand (of course clockwise) it feels tight. The shaft moves but I feel resistance form the impeller. The shaft moves freely without the housing on the impeller.
1-Is it because the new impeller makes it tight?
Thanks!
