This video shows how simple and fun it is to change your impeller. Try doing every year or every 100h/150h. They’re cheap and they make your inspect down there to see if everything is ok.
The sealant that they recommend for the bolts on the shaft is this one:
Sealant 99000–31120 (SUZUKI Silicone Seal (50 g))
I never used it before so don’t need to worry about it. But its something ill get for future use.
Always struggling to find out how to do things on my engines.
I like to do them myself, so I post it online so you guys have a quick and simple tutorial.
I am in no way a professional, I am just trying to help the average boater with simple tips. If you’re not comfortable working on your engines, do search for professional help.
Hope it helps.

Hi Rick, you should show the rotation of the shaft and how the impeller should sit. But thank you for the tips.
Hi, nice video. By the way, what grease you use for the bolt and around the case? Do you need to put grease on the impeller?
Thanks for this. I was having cooling water flow issues on my 2016 Suzuki 6hp o/b, just changed the impeller with no noticeable improvement. I feel steady pulse of air at the outflow hole, but that's it. No obstruction at the intake grate or the pipe from the water pump up to the head, so I suppose that means I have to crack the head (& cylinder?) and look for and clear obstruction somewhere in the casting? Any tips?
Mine is stuck in forward after impeller change, any advice?
Great video (the manual is so unclear for impeller replacement!) and the CUTEST assistant.
What made you decide to change the impeller? Preventative maintenance or was it not peeing or something else?
What year and size motor is this?
Está um bocado incompleto meu caro …
Do you have to drain the oil , before pulling the lower unit?
Before installing the lower unit is there a need to put silicone in certain places?
