GSS036, I am doing maintence on the 2005 Motor. Never changed the impellar since it was new. Have good flow of water but I think maybe it could be time to change to avoid any mid season problems.I am not aware of how long they last : 2-3 years. Thanks. more

You have to remember that these are free message boards/forums and free advice is usually worth pretty close to what you paid for it. Also some of these people who answer, may not be that knowledgeable when it comes to actual repairs, or more specifically the motor being discussed. Sure they may have boated for a number of years and may have a high number of posts/answers on the forum, but that may not be significant when it comes to actual repairs because they take their's to a mechanic. Some of these persons who respond may well be knowledgeable, however others may be just passing along hearsay, trying to up their posting numbers on the forum (ranking in their eyes).
Things to look for after the water pump is removed are, the impeller can take on a curl rather than have the blades snap straight outwards when removed from the housing. It may have also picked up some sand or some other type abrasive material which has created a scoring in the lower impeller plate and/or upper housing. That scoring alone would have a tendency to create a air pocket creating inefficiency in the pump. Any of these could be a contributing factor in cooling / not cooling of your motor.
For the Do-It-Yourselfer : Actual time to replace an impeller is not that much on most motors once you understand each motors technique. An average replacement should be near or less than one hour. For a link to actual replacement for a OMC CLICK HERE , or for a Yamaha T8 CLICK HERE. Others may be different, but you should get the idea after looking at these.
Let's say you put 70 to 100 hrs per year on your 4 strokes (Yamaha in this case), how often are you replacing the water pumps and impellers? Every 2 yrs, 3 yrs, more? more
Btw, I realize changing them with frequency helps to keep the bolts etc from seizing, I am just more curious how long some let them go. here

what am I to ponder? will it go the rest of the season? and should I be thinking of replacing the impeller as a kit during the off season which is in about 3 months. [links]
