OMC 800 Lower Unit seals and impeller:

[Dr. Rich]

If I replace the seals in the lower unit should I replace the water pump impeller at the same time? Rich

uhhh,,yep...i would purchase the impeller kit, which includes the impeller, impeller housing, and seals.....usually when its time to replace the impeller, the housing is also shot...just experience talking

Yes... buy the kit... not just the impeller. <br /><br />Also buy a lower reseal kit and do all of it, not just the prop shaft. Take your time.
