in a recent thread I discussed successfully replacing the fuel pump. Thanks for the help.
When it rains, it pours so as soon as I get back on the lake to test the new fuel pump, I get an overheat alarm. I get back home and investigate for clogs, I find nothing. No tell tale stream. I check the water intake down by the prop and behind the little screens is a small handful of rubber bits. So, despite the dealer having put a new impeller on just 19-20 months ago, it seems my impeller is shot. I could take it back to the dealer, but I want to be more self-sufficient. Hopefully with you guys helping me, I can do this myself.
Looking here:

and more specifically, here:

I'll get the parts listed there.
Is there anything else I need to grab in order to properly service the lower unit while it's off? Any other routine maintenance to do while the lower unit is off? Anything in particular to be sure to do or not do in order not to screw something up?
Thanks!
