Mercury 4.5 Impeller replacement.

Mercury 4.5 Impeller replacement.

Nice job buddy. That impeller was in very bad shape! I've done quite a few of these since I was a kid. A note to anyone who does this is its very easy to get confused on which way to bend the fins of the impeller so measure twice and cut once as they say. Also impellers develope a memory after a while. They don't circulate the water as they should. Replace them. Lester, mercury sells earmuffs that connects to a garden hose to supply intake water for land operations. Good way to check your work. Nicely done brother. First time anything is a little nerve wracking. 👍

What year is this motor?

[@lesteroliveintheshop9825]

I’m honestly not sure. It was my father in laws. I’d say it’s probably about 30 years old roughly
