    Regular maintenance - change just the impeller or entire housing too?

    If the housing is original and in great shape, I surely wouldn't want to replace it with something other than genuine parts.

    Rec gas prices???

    Non-ethanol 92 octane = $6 per gallon. Oregon City OR. 92 octane you can pump directly into your classic car/truck. 87 octane you can't. It's only legal for recreational and tools.

    Regular maintenance - change just the impeller or entire housing too?

    I don't want to hijack this thread, just asking a supplemental question. Do you guys put a little grease on the impeller fins when replacing it? If so, any type grease? Vaseline work?

    Homemade transom savers?

    Before I posted in this thread I went back and read the forum rules again. "NOTE: Some threads are never ending due to the subject or nature of the thread. Administration and Moderators do take this into consideration." . So, does anyone have more ideas for how they built their own Transom Saver?

    Suzuki 75hp

    Checked the gear oil. Not milky and smells good. Hopefully start it up this weekend. I read that I can run it without the lower unit by hooking up a hose to the pipe that would go into the water pump.

    Suzuki 75hp

    Ordered a $14 impeller from Amazon. Same part number as Brownspoint. Also bought one from Boats.net for $31. The Boats.net says it's genuine Suzuki. I'll post back with my take on both. . Edit, forgot to mention that I also bought this for the bolts when I put them back in. Loctite 299175 Paste...

    Suzuki 75hp

    Got it out. The bolt has a flat edge that only allows it to go back on the same way. Impeller looks good. But beings I have it apart, I'll put a new one in. I just didn't want to start the motor without first checking. I didn't want a bunch of old rubber breaking off and going through the...

    Suzuki 75hp

    Sorry about the vague thread title. It's a 1984 Suzuki DT 75. I'm going to drop the lower unit to check/change the impeller. . I found the nut for the linkage bolt on the side under the rubber plug. I read somewhere else to be careful not to move anything or things can become out of sync. But...

    Transom replacement is going good. I'm happy with how it's turning out. I am going to add a couple additional supports. I'll take some pictures when I'm done, but I can see where if it wasn't for the row of screws in the lower portion of the splash well into the transom, the transom would...

    Need help with transom repair...

    Looks really good. I'm seeing lots of posts in these forums that it should last a long time. I had forgotten about my utility trailer that I used 3/4 inch plywood on. I always meant to paint it, but never did. I has sat outside in the rain of the Pacific Northwest for over 20 years - no finish -...

    Rec gas prices???

    I'm guessing you're talking about ethanol free gasoline? I need to get some either this weekend or Wednesday. I get 92 for my 65 Chevy, and I get 87 for all my small engines. I'll post when I do.

    Found this template in an older thread. It'll come in handy when I'm ready to drill new holes.

    Need help with transom repair...

    Speaking of lasting for years just being plywood without much prep. My transom skin has several drilled holes in it. Every drilled hole in the transom skin is also in the plywood transom. That makes me believe my plywood transom is original. There's lots of other evidence too. My point? The...
