Re: Water Pump Replacement '99 Merc 150
Way to go RB! I know you probably already know this, but it is wise to replace the impeller every year for salt and every 2 years for fresh water, so I've always heard.
So, didja miss a bolt at first and think it was stuck? I did that my first time. It does help to get all the bolts out before you try to remove it. ;D You are now the official Wellcraft V20 Mercury impeller subject matter expert. ;) Where are you taking her this weekend?

Re: Water Pump Replacement '99 Merc 150
It looks like the last time out she sucked up a ton of sand, must have wiped out the pump then and that was the end for the last owner!
His loss and your gain! But I hope all the sand came out cause it was pushed out by the new pump, and there was nothing left in there to hurt the new pump. Which I am sure is the case cause you cleaned out the lower unit when you changed everything. You be good to go now!! ;D

Re: Water Pump Replacement '99 Merc 150
I am no expert, just lucky and dumb.
Yes, I thought the "hidden" bolt was the one holding the trim tab on, but the hidden bolt is hidden under the trip tab. It will probably be Monday or Tuesday, the weekend is no good for me.

Re: Water Pump Replacement '99 Merc 150
That previous owner (With his fake Italian marble countertop install), probably just powered through the sandbars when he hit them instead of trimming up or trying to float off!
