Doing my first impeller change. The impeller on the new one looks opposite from the old one. If only I could flip it over it would be fine.
Is there something I'm missing? Part 396725 '86 60HP
Thanks

And why can't you? The cam slot can only go one way.

Re: Impeller help.

You can install the impeller either side up. When you put it into the housing, bend the vanes so that they are all counterclockwise when looking down on the housing from the top (the impeller spins clockwise).

But there is a lip on the other side? I will try to flip it and see if it fits.
Thanks
