Thanks Eddie! Couldn't have changed the impeller on my 2006 Sea Ray 240 Sundeck yesterday without this video. Everything went just as you showed, except the red inlet hose was very difficult to get off on the left side of the engine (very cramped space for the single 350 Mag MPI engine in a 26 foot boat). Eventually had to use a box cutter to cut the hose end a bit to get the hose off. It was also hard to get that side inlet hose back on. Anyway, success! 20 minutes to change the impeller and 4 hours to get the hose off!

No tube or anything. When I got back to the dock I noticed the bilge pump pumping as I was walking away. When I looked inside I noticed water spraying up like a water hose half on (no motor running) the water wasn't hot but I knew I had to get it out of there water quick!!!

Great video. Thanks for putting it together. Here's a recommendation the next time you change your impellers (not propellers :)). Go on AMAZON or go to an auto parts store (or Harbor Freight), and buy a cheap piston ring compression tool. You'll probably need the smallest one they sell, but they are adjustable. You can use it to scrunch down the blades on the impeller, then set and center the ring compressor right over over the center of the pump housing using the pump drive shaft to line it up, then tap the propeller into the housing with the butt end of a hammer or socket wrench.

My 6.2L MPI Mercruiser allows you to change the impeller and wear plate without taking out the whole seawater pump. There are four screws you can take off on the front, which allows the pump basically to split in half, allowing you to remove the front part of the impeller housing, impeller, and wear plate while the back half of the pump stays attached to the bracket. One nice thing about it is that you don't have to remove any of the water hoses. Here's the problem -- getting to those 4 screws is a major pain in the ass. I had to buy an endoscopic camera and have it aimed at the bottom of the bilge because I couldn't get a direct line of sight on the screws and had to feel by hand. I wish I had more space in front of the engine, there's only about 6 inches of clerance between the front of the engine and the fiberglass of the engine compartment.

Any help would be grand, and Thank you for sharing. I have almost decided to attempt the impeller change vs the expensive dealership or others.

@@OnboardWithEddie That part number is for the OEM brass kit. The plastic housing as seen in the video must be a different part number. Is it OEM or after market???

What is the replacement cover kit number

So to confirm this video - there is no impeller in the lower unit on a Bravo III outdrive. Correct? I have twin 7.4's and I just replaced the raw water pump on the engines. Last year, temps were perfect at 180 degrees. This year after the water pump replacement, one engine is running at 185-190. I'm going to replace the thermostat housing and thermostat as both look pretty bad. But no impeller in the outdrives, correct??????

Thank you for watching the videos. And your support. No raw water pump in the outdrive. But There is a water pick up on the outdrive. So the water goes through the outdrive. On must. When was the last time, you changed the risers and manifolds? If the thermostats don’t work, you may have to look into that.

@@OnboardWithEddie Thanks for the response. Risers and Manifolds were new in 2018. I've read about the "Bravo-sitis" issue with the Bravo III out drives. The lower unit picks up the water and sends it through a small tube that goes thru the transom assembly. And after time this tube collapses. So. I'm evaluating putting in a thru hull (sea cock) and connecting it to the raw water pump. One for each engine. I'd leave the water pick up in the out drives and connect the new thru hull together with a "Y" valve. This would guarantee strong water to the engine while still allowing water to come up through the outdrive (is there any cooling concerns in the outdrive?) Thoughts? Love your channel!

I have never heard of the tube inside collapsing. The tub going from the gimbal housing into the transom. That hose sometimes leaks or collapse.

Is a sea pump like a water pump?
@OnboardWithEddie3 жыл бұрын
A water pump and sea water pump, as a pump! It self. Does the same thing. But has two different Functions on a boat. The Sea pump will suck the water from outside the boat from sea, ocean, bay or lake. Up the the Engine. Or heat exchanger. The water pump will circulate that water throughout the block. Both working together, to cool the engine.Behind the upper middle pulley on the Engine, is where the water pump is located. The sea pump if you have a bravo 3 drive is usually located on the lower right hand side of the Engine. If you have a Alpha drives it’s usually located on the lower Half of the outdrive. Hope this helps. Thank you for your support. 🤙⚓
