Torque settings for impeller housing bolts???

[Daytomann]

Hey everyone, I am changing my impeller and I cant recall the torque settings for the 3 bolts on the impeller housing. :?:
I know it cant be much as to not smash the O-ring gasket. Anyone know the torque settings? Or where I can find it.

2004 216 TE, 330 Excalibur motor...From what I understand it has the newer style impeller.

Thanks in advance!! I hope everyone has a great weekend.

AH HA!! A little search of these forums on a real computer...instead of internet on my cell phone....revealed the answer!
I found 9lbs of torque, which certainly sounds right from what I can recall. (I changed mine the year before last so I've slept since then) This year I'm gonna write it down in the manual! LOL!!!!

I'm at the lake now, I'm off to tighten those bolts and hit the water!!

Yes, 9 ft-lbs is fine, but not critical. Just snug them up with a wrench and you are good to go.
