    Just a few guestions

    Suzuki 75hp

    Update.. I couldn't notice any difference between the Amazon $14 impeller, the genuine Suzuki $30 boats.net impeller, and the one I took out of the water pump. I installed the Amazon one and will be keeping the genuine Suzuki one for a later time, and keep the original as a backup.

    Discolored seats…paint?

    That makes sense. I did a seat on my 65 Chevy, and it still looks good 8 years later. But, yes, I could see that being an issue with boat seats. Green before, Blue after:
