1st time posting and have a few questions on replacing the impeller on my 1993 15 hp Model # 0D258427.
I picked the motor up dirt-cheap and it's like new w/ very few hours in fresh water. I just had the carb rebuilt and the tech suggested I replace the thermostat and impeller because it's peeing luke warm. He said the discharge should be the same temp as the intake, which was cold when we ran it. I picked up the thermostat, plate gasket, and seal today.
Does design 1 & 2 use the same impeller?
Should I replace anything in addition to the impeller once I have it off, like the nylon washers, seal, plate, gasket below plate, etc?
Is the removal and reinstall of the lower unit as easy as the manual says? Any tips or tricks pulling or reinstalling it?

Thanks in advance
