[Rhodes22-list] Yamaha 9.9 Water Pump Replacement

[Michael Meltzer]

sounds like overkill and make work, maybe the impeller very 4 years, but the complete pump, nah. you are only putting 25-50 hours on
the motor every year, one thing you do have to watch is salt on the thermostat(and blow the pelages, clean the pee tub yearly), is
one of the few parts on the engine that is not rust proof, time will get it and they need to be replace every two years, luckily it
is also a simple job that you can do yourself.
