I think I sucked up some sand, and I overheated on my last trip. I also think someone might have fired it up with out muffs for a second. I'm pretty sure my impeller is toast.
While I'm digging apart my alpha1, should I be replacing anything other than just the impeller? I see "rebuild' kits for about $15-20 more that include some gaskets and plates... should I do that as well?
Should I change my circulating pump as well?
Boat is a 91, but its pretty new to me, so I have no idea what maintenance it has had done. All I've done on the drive so far is change the oil.
Once I get the alpha1 apart I'll give it a good looking-over, but I'd like to pre-order as much as possible before I start working on it.
Thanks!
