Changing 170 outdrive impeller
It's been too long. Can you guys give me the short form tutorial on changing the impeller in my 1985 Mercruiser 170 outdrive. I'll probably recognize most of what I need to do when I get in there but I recall that the throttle lever needed to be in a particular position (I think it was forward) and I need to drain the oil before taking it apart??
Comments appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Tunnaman - when nobody posted that's what I did. I don't know why I didn't think of that, I've researched a lot of other stuff that way.
Sometimes you have to go through a few to get a good one but they're there.

I didn't chime in because I don't have an outdrive. Most of the guys here run outboards also. If you had asked about an outboard that would have been a different story I'm sure.. Glad you found your answer.

leave it in forward gear, the shift hardware all aligns in forward gear. Drop the lower unit,dont forget the bolt under the trim tab. R%R the impeller. Prop turn counter clock wise viewed from the rear to keep it n fwd gear. Spin the prop to get the splines aligned, Bolt back up, fill with gear lube from the bottom
