Does anyone have a PDF or a link to step by step instructions for replacing the sea pump impeller . I have seen tons of videos and forums, but I like to follow written instructions and then go to the videos when needed.

History. Hit something in the lake, broke one of my propeller blades and put a hole in the lower end. . Repared the hole using quick steel. But the motor gets hot right away. Found rubbery debris in the inlet vents.

shift into fwd, remove trim tab, remove allen head under trim tab, remove the 5 nuts, drop lower unit
R/R water pump, shift lower unit into fwd by turning splined shaft fully clockwise and having the prop lock CCW
Lubricate impeller with something OTHER THAN a petroleum based product
Make sure trim tab bolt is inplace
Raise unit , make sure upper brass shoe goes on the splined shaft and is in a straight line
install front nut by a few threads
Install side nuts, bottom nuts, allen head under trim tab
