    Do it myself or not water pump

    I have a 2005 225 H.O., run in the river mostly so sand is an issue, I think the impellers are getting worn cause she doesnt pee like she should. Is it easy enough to do myself or should I have the shop do it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    buy a genuine manual and do it yourself, pretty simple job if you are a bit mechanicaly inclined with basic tools.

    Easy as pie...ChampionMan will help or do a search...I just replaced all the seals and impeller in my buddy's 150 Johny and I did the same in my 175 Johnny last year. Nothing to it

    I ordered a whole kit for mine, It really was easier than i expected. the hardest part is getting the bolt back in the shit rod, steady hands is all I got to say.
