Does anyone have videos or detailed pics on how to remove and replace the impeller on a 1981 Mercury 25HP tiller outboard. I have the manual on my motor but I am more of a visual kind of person. Any help would be great!

Study the manual as it will be in there.----Many U-tube videos are very good and some definitely not so good.----If you do not know these videos can lead you astray.

pull prop, pull rear anode steering stabilizer to get to bolt underneath. put in forward, pull 4 visiable nuts on outside, catch as lower drops on your shoes.

Thanks guys,yeah racer I hear ya thats why I usually only watch creditable videos(ie:someone working in a shop,calling out parts,using grease. Things like that. Not someone working on an outboard in their back yard saying things like "first you remove this thingy") However I do have a lot of time on my hands at work so If I can bring the manual to work and do some reading I should be ok! Does the manual say things like what kind of lube to use and what to lube while your inside the LU? Thanks guys!
