Hi i am planning to replace impellers myself on Mercruiser 8.2 MAG 496 but i cannot find any videos online to learn for to do it properly.
i have an idea of the process, shut seacock valves, loose the belts, remove seapump housing, replace impeller, put it back.. but video will help a lot.
please share if you have anything similar to my project

ps i dont need to prime the sea pump after replacment , right?

V-drive ? Get the mufflers out of the way. Will make the job a lot easier.

It seems like you have the jist of it. It's pretty straight forward. But there are actually plenty of videos out there - I did a quick search just to check.

Space is tight. May I suggest an assistant that can hand you tools as needed so you are not crawling in and out of there numerous times.

Oh, in case you didn't know this part... remove the three BRACKET bolts to remove the whole assembly at once.
