Great to see you and your wife working as a team. Thanks for the video

Good one mate now I can do mine with knowledge of what’s inside , looks bloody hot there Cheers from Australia

Super nice job! Thanks for making a complicated job look doable. You are obviously very talented.

I don't even own a outboard boat, but was really glad to know for the future. Great job at explaining this!

Great job, really informative. That's a man's motor by God! Tight lines sir.

I was surprised you didn’t comment and show us the wear on the old impeller the reason you were changing it out but good video anyways thanks

Your video was nicely done. Very straight forward!

Fine job! Great video, everything explained very well. Thank You Sir!

Loved the video, and loved the shirt. You seem like a very solid guy. Great explanation on everything. Got a subscriber here.

Wow. Motor looks new. Impeller already bad. BTW great informative video.

Maybe you could use some rtv to glue the gasket into place so you don't have to struggle while aligning everything in the end...

Great video thanks for sharing, I just got the same motor yesterday!!

Just to clarify. That port or around these parts the pee hole, is actually the water that circulates through the fuel pump and charging system. The majority of the engine cooling water dumps from the exhaust. While it could indicate a bad impeller if there is no water from there it may also indicate a blockage somewhere else.

Thanks for the clarification, and yes I do believe that there may have been some blockage in my system. The impeller didn’t look as bad as I though it would once I got it out. But once I replaced it I still didn’t get water out of the pee hole from the Mickey Mouse ears as soon as I felt I should, so I hooked up to the engine flush port and it started coming out, so I may have shot my self in the foot, but I learned a few things.

Great information really appreciate it thanks

Wish you would have shown more on the propeller installation. Clockwise or not with turn. Very important information you left out.

Glad I came across this tutorial thanks sir

Great video and straight forward. Appreiate it bud!

Nice work and vid !

Done that before in the parking lot of the boat ramp, took 25 minutes on a 150 pro xs.

I have changed mine when it would not pee, only to find the impeller was fine, just a stopped up tube from the fuel pump to the outlet hole

Awesome thanks great video!

when tightening up that impeller housing did you pinch the impeller? if you dont turn the drive shaft a bit before you completely tighten it up you will pinch the impeller .....so turn that shaft a bit the finish tightening .....

Awesome 😅😅

Much easier to do with the lower unit standing up, not laying down.

Nice video. You do not have a pitot tubing on that motor ? Can not see that you unplug the pitot tube. I do have a brand new Pro XS 115 and do have problems with my speedo, so I am looking at videos for tips :-)

Pretty wild, I know a guy who bought a new z19 and his paint started peeling on his lower unit as well.

So how come you’re not showing a full detailed teardown like if your boat motor comes with a speed vacuum tube to the lower unit also, no one shows people how to disconnect the gearshift mechanism which is very crucial because if you get it wrong the first time it jumps out of gear. It rolls the square is edge on the dog, which is actually your shifter in the lower unit and from that point, you won’t be able to get it to stay in gear. It will constantly pop out, I’m going to assume that the shift disconnect is a simple nutted collar. Call.

Great Video, Love the verbage on your T- Shirt. I noticed you had some paint peeling on the lower unit. Is that from blow back? Is that covered under Mercury warranty.

every day on those motors you have to put it on reverse turning the shift actuator them when you turn the key on the motor will go in neutral by itself

Very informative video. Will motor go into gear if it's a dts system by just using throttle control like you did?

Did you have to rotate the impeller when you put it in the impeller housing?

Not sure, I haven’t taken it in to even have a rough idea, if I had to guess it was under 60, I probably could have got by without replacing it, but got nervous after getting stuck on a mud flat in the James, and powering my way through. Not to mention Bass Pro never hooked up my water pressure tube, so I was going in blind, but didn’t want to risk anything

Is this happening more often on this Pro XS vs a Honda or Yamaha? I will start flushing mine for sure. I have a 2020 model Pro XS and now I became concerned 😩
