First Impeller job

Hi everyone <br />This is my first impeller repair.<br />I've got a 1988 Evinrude 14SPL Mod.VE14RCCS.<br />My water pump indicator stop working.<br />Water will still comes out the exhaust.<br />Can a person do the impeller replacement,<br />without a vise?<br />This is the first time the impeller has been replaced.<br />Book that I have shows a vice that I haven't got.<br />Can a person do the job with the motor on the boat?<br />Any help on would be very helpful.<br />Thanks

Don't need the vice. Just some patience and tools... And yes, no reason to take the motor off the boat...Also, run a piece of wire up the indicator hose to clear it out...

A BIG WELCOME FP -<br /><br />You will have to drop the lower unit. A shop manual will give you all the procedures. It is a relatively easy job.<br /><br />All the vice does is hold the lower unit in a convenient way for you to work on it. Nice to have but definately not necessary.
