Hey guys, got an 85 force outboard, just got it, went to do an impeller swap and notice a little slot on the shaft and on the impeller, is this to connect the impeller to the shaft to make it spin? I don't have anything here, wondering if that's why I don't have any water coming out.

There should be a key in that slot. Then the impeller slides over it.

When you dismantled it the key probably fell out.
Look hard. It can be found with a magnet.


Don't put in one that is loose at all.

boats . net they sell parts and have parts diagrams for almost everything but Volvo.
They can be a bit slow on something's.
You might be able to buy that part here on iboats.
Take that # to any Mercury dealer they can get it if it's not in stock.
