dear boat guru's i bought a sea ray, so? you all say, it has a 260hp chev, it also has an omc electric out drive, so? you say again? well i do not know what year it is,(titles in canada seem to be quite lax) and i am having a problem with it burning the rubber hoses that join the manifolds to the elbows to the leg,.i have deduced/ that it needs an impeller, How? i say,.. :confused: Where? i say,... :confused: if i chose to remove this outdrive, <br />is it, extremely/very/not so/ difficult to replace it with a mercruiser outdrive, i have a very nice late model fuel injected lt4 that i would like to install, but before i even consider that i would like to at least run the boat in the water for more than 1/2 hr!!!! Thanks to all, and please, i'm sorry if this has been asked before, but i read the list of topics and did not see omc impeller specifically. If i had to guess i'd say the boat was 70's<br />Regards to all<br />nick :)

Re: patience please

The issue of replacing OMC outdrives with Merc units has been asked before, and it always rejected because you would need to replace the entire transom.<br /><br />On a Cobra, the impeller is very easy to change. Don't know about an 800.<br /><br />You need a manual. At any boat store, or from the link at the bottom of this page.
