I know this is a weird specific request, but can anybody measure the width of the key on their outboard? The engine in questin is a 1963 40hp model# 40353d. its only about a 1/32 of an inch difference so using calipers would be ideal
The key is slightly wider than the notch on the new impeller, and the new impeller is so tight on the drive shaft that I can only slide it about an inch before it gets stuck. My first guess is that I have the wrong impeller, but it looks the same as the one I took out, except the keyway, and the part number on the bag it came in is right (according to the diagram at marineengine.com). I'm hoping this is just a bad part but maybe I have some frankenstein engine beast thing here.
Thanks again iboats... you rock
