Impeller replacement

We replace the impeller every two years simply because the things get tired. However, having a boat in which the water pump can actually be seen, and even worked on from a comfortable chair, and having one of Don's wonderful quick removal pump covers, we check the impeller every spring just to make sure it hasn't received mechanical damage. In our previous boat, getting to the water pump was a spelunking expedition, so we were not so conscientious. We paid for that with impeller failures, about every three years.

Pulling the impeller when the boat comes out of the water to avaoid having it take a set sounds like a good idea. Now if someone can just remind me to put it back in - - - .
