Hello all so im goimg to replace my impeller total newbie but watched some videos and think its an not too bad job.just got a few ?:

Does out drive need to be all the way down or does not matter?

Videos say to have boat in drive when i install. Do i need it in drive to take off too?

yes drive in forward, and leave it there till you finish the job.

I always use a complete kit with housing.

Replace the shift shaft bushing also.

The lower must not move and be level if you choose to replace the bushing, again the lower must be level and not move, i use my shop vice.

So outdrive can be up or down does not matter?

I usually crank the bow down on a trailer, drive maybe 1/3 up.

I sit on a milk crate, seeing as I'm older then dirt.

Doesn't matter, drop the lower turn it over.
