Bob, are you using illegal bottom paint??? Who is your dealer???
Seriously though. Impeller, I've been going 2 years of May - October
season. And since you see me heading out a fair bit you must know my
frequency of using the boat...

Because of excessive mussel growth on my prop and prop shaft the past
several seasons, this past Spring I tried something new, namely
applying "lanolin" to them....boat was hauled this week and I can
report that the lanolin was not very effective.....there were approx.
3 dozen mussels attached to the prop and the prop shaft was covered as
well.
On another note, applied Micron 66 antifouling paint to the boat this
past Spring (have been using Micron CSC for over 12
years).....absolutely no growth of any kind....and specifically no
'slime' which is common with the CSC.....the bottom looks like it did
when it was painted in the Spring and I only applied a very light coat
of the '66' (actually diluted it approx. 10%)....it is incredible
antifouling paint.....only regret is that it is not sold in Canada.
And, after 7 sailing seasons, I decided to check the air filter on
the Yanmar 2GMF.....took the cover off to discover there was no
'actual filter' in the metal casing...ooops! There will be by next
Spring.
Lastly, how often do you guys changedthe impeller in the raw water
pump? Not what the specs recommend but actually how often.....every
year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years?
