Always have a spare so I swapped them out , fired up, and no luck. engine started to get hot so shut it down, checked pump again, impeller was in bigger pieces this time. I have replaced the impeller 4-5 times before, the housing is 3 years old, and never had a problem.. The boat is a 1996 Sea Ray 454 Bravo 2. Any suggesions why it would fry a new impeller in a matter of 2 minutes? Thanks for any help."
