Yamaha outboards- water impeller change

[TNAL]

I was thinking of changing out the impellers on my 2 outboards myself (w/ shop manual of course), but I am not too mechanically inclined.

Is this a hard job and should be left to the pros?

Leave it to the pros , unless you like to learn as you go ...
It could get pretty spendy if you mess something up ...

Its not terribly difficult. I'm doing mine after hunting season.

Here is a rundown.

Thanks for that web page. I have been trying to figure out the trick
on removing the retainer clip on the shaft. I had to pay an hr shop
time to get the tech to remove it. Now I know the trick. You use the
metal cover to pry off of ....to easy..

Thanks for the link, I'm getting ready to do mine as well. Also one of the guys on that website had a link for Yamaha parts also.

If a mechanic does the change he will inspect everything and pressure and vacuume test the unit as well.
