Hi guys (& gals, too)
I'm new to this site and have already reviewed nearly all the posts as I soak up as much info as possible.
I bought a brand new 215CC last year in order to give me access to offshore fishing for stripers, cod and tuna off of NH an MA. It is not unusual to make a 30 mile run to the grounds. As you can imagine, I want to feel as confident as possible in my equipment when going out there . . .so my question surrounds the water pump impeller.
I've heard that it is an easy matter to replace the impeller myself. I've also heard the opposit. What is the real skinny on this? My manual is coming in the mail soon. I'm handy and can follow directions, but I'm not a motorhead.
I've heard that you should replace the impeller every two years. I've also heard that you really don't have to do it until the pee stream gets weak. Hmmm, 30 miles out, a Labrador current, I think I'd like to err on the conservative side but at the same time I don't want to do overkill maintenance on something that might be inherently reliable.
I appreciate your input.
