Impeller/water pump service 1992 E60ELENE

[Dave Brick]

Very similar to a nearby post, but I didn't want to steal the other guys thread...

My tell tale has pumped reliably no for 3 years. Now, it seems to be "dribbling" rather than shooting out strongly. I don't know wheter impellers tend to fail quickly or gradually, but I don't want to find out in the middle of the lake. I'm debating doing the job myself.

Should I just buy the impeller repair kit, or the full water pump repair kit?

I usually drop the lower unit and check the pump out, chances are you will only need the impeller.

If you haven't replaced the impeller in 3 yrs, I'd put the whole kit in. Cheap insurance.
