Tried to upload a couple photos, will be very difficult to explain if they didn't upload. I have a bravo 3 5.7 and I just got the boat not long ago, so for maintenance I thought I would change the impeller. Once apart, I have 2 steel spacer plates attatched to the rear housing, it appears for proper clearance. The plate that lays on the brass housing has a place for the impeller to ride, and the other one is cut out so the impeller doesn't ride on that plate, it appears to be only for clearance. I'm confused because I can't find any information on this setup. Makes me wonder if at one time they ground down the brass and made this up as a repair, but I honestly don't know. I know I ordered a new plastic housing with a wear plate and to be honest I have 1/8 inch between the front housing and the plastic housing before I even start tightening the bolts. This is not a part I want to fail on the water. Thanks for any advice you can provide.
