Re: Todays test Run
MS - Nice looking boat!! See if you can find a Merc Laser 2 - 19pitch on ebay . . . you'll turn that motor another 400rpm's.
$150 . . . for the water pump is typical shop labor rate. (He might include replacing the seals . . . but I doubt it for that price)
Replacing the impleller is a snap . . . . The PIA part is putting the lowerunit back on. Having to support the 50lb unit while you line up the shiftshaft and water tube is not fun. If you have an engine hoist or a buddy the hold the lower unit in place then you're golden. Shift shaft is the same setup as the Yamaha . . . The only difference b/w a merc and others . . . is that you have to run a 3" bead of hightemp sealant b/w the exhaust and the water pump housing.
