House Call Mechanic? Impeller needs replaced
 

Does anyone have a recommendation for a competent
boat mechanic that makes house calls to change my impeller?

Just had the boat detailed and don't want to leave it sitting outside at a boat shop while I wait on all the other last minuters. :)

175 Mercury EFI
V-175 (EFI) 0G760300 THRU 0G960499

Thanks,
Adrian

Adrian. I am no mechanic by trade but do my own always. Will be glad come put it in. No charge Text 615 804 79sixsix I live in Portland

I might just take you up on that... If I can get a kit somewhere. Thanks for the Help!

I buy my maintenance parts here - http://www.marineengine.com/
Don't buy Sierra parts - http://www.marineengine.com/parts/me...unter-rotation

Can get kit from Nashville marine on highway 70 in Lebanon or order online. I have got parts from marineengine.com. I can pick one up or you can. Just need exact serial number.

As Buccaneer says only mercury/quicksilver parts

They're in Whitehouse, I buy from them all the time.

Tracker Marine says they have the kit in stock. Think I'll run by there and check it out.

I'll make sure they are OEM Mercury Quick Silver parts.

Adrian. Just let me know. Can come by this weekend.most any time after 9 am Friday. Headed to guntersville Monday for 3-4 days

Wasn’t sure if you knew Tracker Marine that was in Hendersonville moved to Nashville. They are off Spence lane by the river now.

Got the 2 Gaskets & Impeller today. OEM Quicksilver.

What do you think of the gear oil?

Yes that came as quite a shock when I pulled into the parking lot today at 4:30. Luckily Sue stayed behind at the new location and waited on us!

Mmmmm <'TK><
 

Impeller In
 

Thanks Everybody! Luckystratos just left the driveway we got it in and ready to Rock n Roll! I guess I know who's getting my secret spots this year :) Hell of a guy in real life. What an awesome place this forum is, and just good ole fashioned folks helping each other. My faith in humanity has increased a little today! Bring on the Spawn!!!

That’s great!

Thanks for kind words Adrian. Always try help someone out because I never know when I might need some help. I think you and Texas Rig are the only ones I have meet on this forum but everyone seems like great people. Some maybe a little crazy lol but genuine. Several have tried to help with my guntersville trip next week and they will never know how much I appreciate it. Take care my friend.

Repair ... <'TK><
 

You're absolutely right TK. That's what I plan on doing. I'm going to change the gear oil in a few months and check it out to determine if it scares me or not. Thanks for your help!

Got my boat back yesterday and it shifts smooth as silk. Larry is a good guy and knows his stuff. I’d highly recommend giving him a call for the seal kit and impeller.

Cake Pan
 

Your next batch of brownies or cake will be extra moist and oily! Nice drain pan. ;)

How hard is it to change out an impeller? Is that a job for a pro or did you (Adrian) watch and think you could do it yourself next time?

TK, You're right... When I first drained the oil I did the water test & none came out, but it always has that little marble look to it. I suspect condensation as it was sitting outside all winter until recently. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the information!

i just grabbed what was near :) The wife understands... haha!

I think I could change it, however, I would NOT want to change it alone. Just putting the lower unit back together and lining up the 3 pertinent parts is really a 2 man job unless you do it every day or have 3 hands.
