Putting a 65 Chrysler 35hp outboard on my boat. Dad has had the motor stored for several years and we're going thru getting it ready for the lake and the waterpump isn't pushing any water. Was hoping someone would have a link to a walkthru to change it and perhaps links or advise where to get a new one. The motor has been in the family along time so getting a different motor isn't an option. Thanks for the help

good luck finding parts for an old Chrysler, especially the impeller.

There is a post ,top of the Force/Chrysler forum. It covers impeller changes.
It's an easy job.
The impeller can be had at Valley Sales in Prudenville,Mi.
Get the phone# as he's real slow answering e-mails.

I ordered this impeller (attached) for my 1970 35 HP Chrysler here with a price match and the US Postal lowest shipping rate. I got a better deal than I could have locally IMO.

I?ll attach some pics of my Lower Unit, Impeller Etc. There was or is a post with tips at the top with good general steps and tips. The Local Library here had Manuals on the old Chryslers. Plus, I think there is some download info on line. If you have some ?specific questions?, I?m sure you will get some help here.

If you do not have a Tell Tale to show your water flow off to the side vs rear, that is handy if your Eng will allow it. Please post pics of your Eng with the cover off and Lower Unit if they are different from mine.

Use a longer bolt/nut to hold the Lower Unit while you disconnect the shift rod if you use this method vs re-adjusting the rod.
