    Changing Impeller Question????

    What is the best Grease to use when putting in the new Impeller?
    I've heard different opinions, even Vasoline is ok to use.
    Any input appreciated
    Thanks, Martin

    Just anything to lube it when it first fires off. Once it get water in there, you're good.

    Dish soap works the best. Makes spinning the impeller down into the housing super easy.

    I tackled the job this morning and everything went perfect. New Impeller,Gear Lube.Overall it's an easy job, took me 1hr 35 min from start to finish. Fired the boat up and good water pressure.Happy to save a few hundred $'s doing it myself.
    Thanks for all the input, it definitely made the job easier.
