Force 50hp impeller change instructions

[edmih]

I can't find the instructions for impeller change on my 1996 50hp Force. The Seloc manual I have has different type of the motor pictured, I can't figure it out.
Also what else would you recomment to change while replacing the impeller?
Please help!
Many thanks.

Welcome to iboats.

If the rest of the water pump is in good condition, just replace the impeller.

What specific steps are you having trouble with?

Disconnect spark plug wires.
Remove trim tab.
Remove bolt up under trim tab.
Half way down the leg, you will see a coupler nut and jam nut. Mark the coupler, nut, and shift rod position with a black magic marker.
Loosen jam nut and turn the coupler on the shift rod to separate the upper and lower shift rods.
Remove the other 4 bolts holding the lower unit on, remove the lower unit.
Remove the water pump cover.
Remove the impeller key and impeller.
