Hi all, I just removed the impeller thanks to a couple of threads here, it looks like my dogs have been chewing on it for a few days. I plan on replacing the water pump as well, which certainly doesn't look like a pump to me, but what do I know. Silly question, aside from the engine overheating, could the rubber fragments from the impeller do any damage to the engine... Hooked up a hose and it started to overheat pretty darn quick, I believe when it was just idling in neutral, and also when I put it in gear. There was no smoke or oil leakage. You think replacing the water pump and impeller should fix the overheating issue... Don't really know too much about these engines. I can tell you its a beast and can't wait to get it on the water Thanks in advance for any help.
