3 bolts secure cover

The cover on the stern drive is secured by three bolts.

After the bolts are removed the cover comes off easily.

Old impeller in the cover
|
The old impeller came off inside the cover.

Using a pair of pliers, I pulled the old impeller out of the pump casing. It's actually in pretty good condition. I'm not sure how that's possible, but I'm not going to complain. I decided to keep it on the boat as a spare.

The post is triangular in shape and corresponds to the shape of the impeller . Line them up, put the pump cover back and three large bolts back on, then replace the cover and those bolts as well. After putting it all back together I threw the muffs on and fired up the engine. Strong streams mean success!!
