        <![CDATA[ I am planning to change the impeller on the water pump after 600 hours of use.  I have not done this on the 42 Catalina.  I have the 50 hp Yanmar.  Is there a
gasket that needs to be replaced when putting the cover back on?   Is this something you order from Catalina?  Is the impeller difficult to remove?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

			<description><![CDATA[ Steve: RE impeller life, I lost one after 200 hours but have 400+ on this one and it&#39;s going fine. I met a cruiser in Mexico this year who replaces his on
each oil change, and know others who replace theirs at the beginning of each season. I have a friend in California who has approx 3000 hours on a Yanmar 44 who
has NEVER replaced his.

It has to do with luck and what you may pick up. Sand from motoring off a sandbar, for instance, or a piece of plastic or seaweed, may damage... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I just discovered that the water seal behind the impeller is leaking. It looks to me like the motor will have to be jacked up and the motor mount moved so the
pump can be removed. A mechanic looked at it and agreed. He said it would probably be $400 to $500 to remove the pump, rebuild it, and replace it. Does this
seem right?
<br>
<br>
For those of you curious about how long an impeller will last on one of these pumps, the previous owner told me the impeller now has over 1,200 hours in it,... ]]></description>

Here is a posting done by me last year on the subject..
<br>
I suggest you search using the word &#39;impeller&quot; you will find a wealth of info already posted on this forum

Good luck on your water pump work.

			<description><![CDATA[ Steve: If you have the Yanmar where the waterpump faces backwards, towards the starter, consider loosening the alternator brackets so it can be rotated towards
the engine and give you some room to work. When that is done, here is what you will find:
<br>
<br>
There are four screws that hold the cover plate onto the pump. When they are removed, the plate will come off (make sure your raw water thru hull is closed and
you are ready for some water to run into your engine sump) and the impeller... ]]></description>
