2001 200HP HPDI Anodes & Water Pump

[Sprokit]

Hello,
First, I admit that I am making up for past sins....(not regularly flushing the motor after use).
Background: I am the second owner of a boat with twin 200's (one 2001 the other 2004). The 2001 has some hours on it (over 1000) but has performed flawlessly over the first season that I have had her (which I hope to continue).

In reading up during the winter, I have been "educated" on the importance of fresh water flushing after use. I also now know that there are 4 anodes in the water jacket of each bank.

Question 1: How easy is it to replace these anodes? I have read through the Sealoc manual (in my opinion, a very poorly written book). I know that I need to remove both the cover and head to get to these anodes. Anybody have experience in swapping these out?

Question 2: I want to change out the water pump impeller. Any "pitfalls" associated with this? I plan on ordering the appropriate pump kit once I find the right part number.

Many thanks!
J

Thank you for the response J-I-T.
The water pump kit I ended up getting is: 61A-W0078-A3. It looks to have everything. I agree with your recommendation to get the Yamaha Repair manual(s). Now I am trying to determine which is better: CD or hard copy.
Once the weather breaks, I will take my time with the water pump update and take pictures of the steps for this site.
Again, thanks.
