Howdy, Salmonchaser.<br /><br />Changing the impeller is a DIY job, but unless you have the correct tools and equipment leave sealing to a pro.<br /><br />$400 sound awfully high to me, but these days everythings seems high to me.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB

JB is right. You should leave the reseal to somebody with the correct tools.<br /><br />$400.00 does sound a little high for strictly an impeller and seals, however they may be figuring a complete water pump kit and extra time do to the age of the unit. Especially if it may have been used in a salt water environment.
