Water impeller install

[steplift20]

I've done this before I'm just not 100 percent sure Ok this is the question when you install the impeller the ends have to bend in the housing this is what I'm not sure of Does the bend face the direction that it turns while in forward or does the bend face the other way, I'm not sure you understand what I'm saying But that's how I think I should word it I know you have to grease it up and turn the prop so the shaft turns and the impeller slides in Thanks for any come backs Thank god this site is up and running

I don't think it matters on initial install, just if you're putting a used one back in.

Why wouldn't it matter? You think it would correct it self ?

I think I read it somewhere. I've always installed it by rotating it the direction it will be turning when under power.

So to get it in the housing you put grease on the impeller grease on the inside of the housing and by hand turn the prop as if you would be going Forward as you press down on the housing on to the impeller then it slides down ? I think that's how, am I right?

yes....except I don't use grease, just twist it in...
