Changing impellor on 4hp Yamaha

Hi

I just changed the impellor on my Yamaha 4 hp outboard today but had a hell of a job reassembling the bottom end to the motor seems to be hard to align the main drive shaft, cooling water feed pipe and the gear selector rod all at the same time.

Are there any tricks to this reassembly???? to avoid me hours of frustration next time.

Cheers

Simon

Try doing a impeller change on a 75 Enduro.With the boat in the water and tied to the dock .I did my water pump on a 65 Johnson back in the early 90's the same way so you might say I've had a little practice.
