When the admiral speaks...

[AnsleyS]

She had a feeling and mentioned that it might be a good time to replace the raw water impeller. We are headed up the Grand Manan Channel tomorrow and it may have let go somewhere along the rocky coast with twenty foot tides. How do they do that?

 

[Blissboat]

After you anchor, pour an extra tot in that Admiral's grog, and then ask whether it might be a good time to get out of Nvidia stock.

 

[hmason]

And let us know what she says

 

[sjisailor]

Now keep that impeller around but hidden.

Next time she asks to change it, you can pull it out if needed and say, "you're right again, as always!"

 

[psneeld]

Be thankful you have a traveling partner that knows enough and participates at that level. The perfect one also knows tools well enough to hand you the correct one when asked.

 

[Bmarler]

Mine will do the work while I supervise…

 

[Still Boating]

I know the standard advice is to replace the impeller annually, but that could be anywhere between 50 hours for a recreational boat and 1200 or more hours for commercial use or someone on the loop.
How many HOURS are people getting on their impellers before failure?

If you replace annually you have no idea how long they last.

(Putting on 400 hours this year)
