I change the impeller each year. I pull the impeller after haulout and bag it with the key. In the Spring I put in the spare or a new one and give last year's a rest. The impeller is rubber and takes a set if left in the pump over the winter. Three screws are easy to remove. I keep a tube of vaseline in spare parts tupperware container marked "Engine and Prop". In that box is a spare oil filter, spare fuel filter, spare Racor fuel filter, belts, wooden dowels to rod out the heat exchanger, spare zincs for the engine, MaxProp, and shaft, a couple of oil absorbent towels and water pump impellers, and any parts pertaining to the Engine or Prop.

And change the impeller every other year. It's cheap and easy maintenance.
