Just A Few Questions, Need Answers

[bohunter21]

Greetings,
Question #1, Does water pump impeller replacement always include other part other than just the impeller; Gaskets, pump housings, miscellaneous plates etc. or can you just replace the impeller?
Question #2, I don't live in an area that is heavy on the boating side; where is the best place to purchase pump impellers? I have heard you can putchase these parts at NAPA auto parts stores.
Question #3, What are your experiences using SeaFoam Deep Creep for Decarbing an engine? Does it work as well as the stuff Mercury sells?
Thanks for your help,
Bohunter......

Response to Question #1. In the last four decades I have been purchasing impellers only from Mercury dealers. Every third impeller replacement I would purchase the entire kit consisting of the impeller, gaskets, bottom plate, housing, water tube and other miscellaneous parts. Now the Mercury dealer said that the impeller only is no longer available and only the kit is available at considerly higher costs. Check with your motor dealer to see what is available.
