Is a 20 + year old, but still new in the package (never used) rubber impeller still good? Im helping my brother-in-law get his 1985 Hunter 40 back in shape. The boat has not seen much use in the last 20 years and if you can believe it, has the original impeller. He has this new in the box spare impeller he purchased some 20 (or more) years ago but Im not sure that installing that old of a rubber impeller in the engine is a good idea. It was stored in a dark, temperature stable environment, but how will rubber that old perform under the flex stresses imposed on an impeller? Any thoughts? *
Thanks.
