Bobby,<br /><br />If you've done the job on a johnrude V4, you'll be able to do it on the Merc with your eyes shut! Only 'trick' is to make sure the gearbox is in the same gear as the control box when you slip it back in.<br /><br />Merc do a kit now that includes the impeller, base plate and all the gaskets, and it's cheaper than the impeller on its own. Go figure!<br /><br />Good luck and have fun.<br /><br />Chris..........
