Parts Desk Insight
If your engine is running a little warmer than usual or the telltale stream looks weaker, the impeller is often the cause. They wear gradually and can fail under load before showing obvious signs.
Replacing it regularly is one of the simplest ways to keep your outboard reliable and ready to go
