I hope I won't have to do that :(
The longest time this impeller ran dry was when this event occurred, so this cannot have caused it. It does not look damaged at all. FWIW it is a Globe Run-Dry...

Yes, I heard about that trick before.
But I am pretty sure I have a pristine new gasket in my basement, I just did not have it on the boat. Should I be out of them, I know where to get'em:...

Impeller: It is about 2 years old. I took it out and it seemed perfectly fine: flexible, not deformed, no cracks. I replaced it with another one that...

How can a simple impeller pump fail completely?
Today was when I started my trusted A-4 the first time in the season. She started right away, without ether or other tricks, though it took maybe 15 or 20 seconds until ignition. Not surprising given...

I see, so these fittings do fail. It certainly never froze (there was only coolant in there) but perhaps something else happened. After all, this is the standard Made in China item from Home Depot. ...
