As I posted in another thread, I was noticing steam coming out of the starboard through hull exhaust, but the temp gauge read normal. I was lucky enough to get a mechanic to look at it today. He started with the impeller on the starboard side. 5 fins were missing!! He was able to locate all of them. He called me to ask if I wanted to replace the other side too. I said hell yes. That one was missing 3 fins with a couple more ready to fall off!! Seven hours and $750 later the boat is running perfectly.
So, all of the advice to faithfully replace your impellers, is good advice. Obviously, the previous owner never did them.
