Last year my impeller died right after a weeklong trip to Norris Lake. Had it died on the trip it could have ruined the entire trip. It did ruin the following weekend and since there aren't that many overnighters at the camp right now that really sucked! I had guests come down and unfortunately they couldn't go out on the boat.
I was thinking about going ahead and buying an impeller kit and keeping it on the boat or with the boating tools in case something like this happens again. What do you think the shelf life would be on the impeller kit? I think they only cost around $40 but could I expect the impeller rubber parts to be in good shape for 5 years?
This waterpump is in a tough spot. How long does it take you guys to do the switch. I have done them on pumps that were more out in the open but this one is tough!
