Installing new raw water pump impeller

[Tony]

I am getting ready to install a new raw water pump impeller on my 2006 sv 211 and was wandering if someone could give me some a quick procedure and tool list. thanks

Did you refer to your manual??? It should tell you exactly how to perform the process with some pictures.

its depends on your engine
have you got the 5.7 Excal or ZR6 6.0?

I have the 5.7 excal

I have the 5.7 excal

Maybe - just maybe; I'll get this stinking procedure up tonight. I now have all the pics.

15mm or adjustable wrench for the idler pully.
10mm socket with extension for the pump cover bolts. (see pic)

1. Take the serp belt off. (If you can't figure out how to do this, stop and take your boat to the dealer.)
2. Take the three cover bolts off - bolts stay with cover due to tiny o-rings.
3. Carefully twist the pulley and slightly mis-align the pump as you pull it out and the impeller will come out with it. Otherwise the impeller stays in the cavity.
4. Change out the four o-rings. One for the cover, three for the bolts. Some oil or soap as lube is handy but not required.
5. Squirt some dish soap on the impeller and lather it up with a bit of water.
6. Place the impeller on the shaft.
7. Then line up the impeller with casing and "top" at the top. Then rotate the pulley in the running direction and the impeller will slip right in.
8. Snug the three bolts.
9. Torque to 9 ft-lbs
10. Put the belt back on.
11. Get 'er back in the water.

AirTool - Thanks for the post. I almost pulled the pump and alternator but this way save me hours!

There is a full post somewhere. I need to update a few items and make a DYI for jeff to make sticky.

AirTool Thank you for this post! Have the same boat (2006 sv211 w/ 5.7 engine) and it was incredibly helpful to have the step by step instructions and picture. Also, a note of others, it's actually significantly easier than it first seems to do this--especially if you remove the panels on the starboard side of the engine. Then you can squat down in that starboard compartment and reach around to access the bolts.
