Force water pump impeller install

[Josh P]

Need help already used the search function no luck. I am installing a new impeller. engine is 1991 force 120. my l/u has studs instead of bolts in the pump cover. which way do i need to turn the input shaft to put the impeller in the right direction? also i sent my l/u out for a skeg repair over the winter, on the shaft that goes into the powerhead is it the steel collar goes on then the boot or vise versa. I dont remember. Thanks, Josh

yes, the steel collar then the boot on top of that.

as for the impeller turn the shaft counter clockwise.

Actually I was told from many sources, you should turn the shaft CLOCK wise when installing a new impeller.

My sources are: Seloc manual, YouTube videos and Frank A.

ok i was waiting for someone else to chime in. would make sense, the engine runs in the clockwise direction so that would turn in the clockwise direction. thanks for helping me out. Not that i dont believe you but maybe frank will chime in and back you up. thanks thats what im gonna do tommorow

i actually dont think it matters, because once the engine is spinning its going to flex accordingly. factory manual doesn't even specify it.
