Impeller on Merc 150

[TheFlyingNun]

Hello,<br /><br />I melted the impeller on my Merc 150, 1991 V6.<br />Yes, give me the Dunce Cap award.<br /><br />I have the lower end off and I am looking at the<br />impeller. How the hell do you get the thing off?<br />Does it slide up the shaft? Or do I need to pull the<br />shaft out of the lower unit and then slide it off the bottom. If yes How I do I get the shaft out. If no, then why the heck won't the old impeller slide up the shaft.<br /><br />It is melted to hell and back. <br /><br />Oh help me please! I am frustrated.<br /><br />TFN.

It should slide.<br /><br />If it's melted badly you may have to cut it in pieces to get it off. MIND THE SHAFT, though.

Re: Impeller on Merc 150

Go get your new impeller so you can get a good look at what the metal part that sits on the shaft looks like.. Then lay a hacksaw on the top of the melted one and just follow the shaft as you cut.. once you get the first section cut you can pry it off with a screwdriver.. Check your pump for burnt spots... I would replace the pump housing on any time I melted an impeller...
