Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Ok, so if they became separated wouldn't water still be drawn in by the pump and just leak out the front of the drive housing? The impeller didn't seem to be drawing any water in at all.
Do you mean how flexible they are? They seem pretty flexible and there are no cracks in the rubber or anything. To me (untrained eye) it seems to be in good shape
The face seal was totally gone too. Bought the kit and installed new impeller, housing, gaskets, face seal, o-rings and oil seal carrier. Going away for the weekend, but I'll report back as soon as I can! Thanks for the help.
