Hi everyone!
So after reading the how and what to do regarding my new toy, I took the lower unit off to see how the impeller looked. Note for future projects: follow all instructions here to remove lower unit and change the impeller, they're good. But you have to disconnect the shifting linkage (allen screw) after you drop the lower unit.
When I removed it from the shaft, it looked good. The fins sealed against the body walls, even slightly bent. But on the advice from here, I decided to totally go through the motor. My question now . . . when I removed the rubber impeller, it looked like it was glued/sealed on with red gasket maker on top of the key (pin). Should I seal/glue the replacement when I install on the shaft?
(hopefully the pics worked).
