- Mainship 30 Pilot II
I’m planning to change the impeller on the Yanmar 6LPA-STP in my 2003 Mainship II Pilot. Before I begin to remove the cover plate and take apart the housing I was hoping someone here on the forum that is familiar with this can help me. I am able to squeeze through the small hatch in the cabin to access the housing so I took some pictures. I have noticed that the impeller cover plate that needs to be removed is very close to the engine mount and may not permit me to pull out the impeller without removing the whole housing. Is this true? I also haven’t purchased an impeller and gasket yet, I assume I’ll need to replace the cover plate gasket as well as the housing gasket (if the housing needs to be removed). Since this is new to me could I get some advice on the best approach to tackle this as well as where online would be the best place to purchase these items? Can these items be purchased as a kit?
Thank you,
