How often should I replace the water pump impeller?

For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to replace your water pump impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, depending on operating conditions. Frequent use in saltwater or sandy/silty water may require more frequent inspections.

Common signs include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or intermittent water stream from the "telltale" outlet, and visible cracks or damage on the old impeller upon inspection.
