While I'm sitting around being cold and hearing about the blizzard out East, I'd like to take care of any boat maintenance to keep me busy.
In particular, I'm trying to figure out if I need to replace my impeller this off-season. The boat lives on a trailer and sees about 50-60 hours of use each year in freshwater (Mississippi & Illinois rivers, in addition to a lake in Canada). The current impeller has been in for two full seasons and I've seen no changes in normal operating temps for the boat. Not too many other boaters around here seem to do preventative maintenance, so I don't really have anybody to ask.
Thoughts? The drive is a Alpha One Gen 2 on a 350 Mag engine.
Thanks!
Jim
