[Rhodes22-list] Yamaha 9.9 Water Pump Replacement

[gardenbay1]

Jay, before we were converted to sail we fished 20 to 30 hours every week in the ocean and bays in Brigantine for many years. We had a 175 Johnson and had to replace the pump once. We did have to replace the impeller every two years. Rogers analysis is perfect. Regards Dan Galena Maryland. We really enjoyed the get together at the canal house.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Yamaha 9.9 Water Pump Replacement

Folks,
My ob service guy says Yam recommends replacing the water pump assembly 
every year. The motor is 2001 with this the first year in service. I'm 
in salt water 9-10 months, occasionally flush with ear muffs (once a 
month), and end of season run it in a barrel of fresh water for 1/2 
hour (alos to burn off deposits, etc.).

Anybody offer best suggestions on proceeding with this replacement or 
any other winter routine?
  Thanks, Jay
