how hard would it be to change the out drive impeller water pump. Just got my boat out and found out that it is overheating and there was plastic pieces down under my fins where the water intake is. I am mechanical inclined

Re: mercruiser 3.o alpha one

fairly easy if your mechanical,
you have to remove the outdrive and separate the upper & lower units.
I would suggest you purchase a manual & follow the steps.

You can pick up a manual from either eBay or from here at iBoats.

Remove the whole thing?????????? I havent done mine yet, but far as I know/thought it was just the lower half, and heard people doing it at the lake....
