I have a 5hp Force outboard and the impellers for the engine have a list price of $95. The impeller is a little bigger diameter than a Quarter coin, without a doubt the most expensive marine motor impeller pound for pound in the world! Sellers on EBay sometimes offer these impellers on EBay anywhere from $30 to $60 and it is very inviting, HOWEVER, I noticed that every single last one of them was old stock from 1997 and such or the date was unknown because the packaging was missing.
WARNING: Outboard motor impellers are made of neoprene rubber, and neoprene rubber has a shelf life of 5-6 years. I would not advise anyone to buy old impellers unless they like to take apart engines. In the case of Mercury, they show on the package the date of manufacture of their parts. I'm sure all the others do the same. If you don't see a date on manufacture for an impeller, don't buy it.
