[QUOTE="bigbrad123, post: 177382, member: 806"] I think I may need a new impeller on my motor, but not sure. I was having issues with water not really coming out of the pee hole so I cleaned out the tube well and water started coming up better, but not really in a steady stream. It was just more or less "spitting" out of it. Cleaned it again (air and water coming through really well when cleaning) and seemed like it got a little better, but still just spitting. I've used my boat a couple times and it isn't overheating. So, do I need to change my impeller? I've never really worked on boat motors, but am a little mechanically inclined. (First time boat owner). So....first question is would a bad impeller cause the spitting after cleaning out the tube really well? And if so, is fixing an impeller pretty easy? Watched a youtbube video that looked easy and straight forward. But I really don't want to mess anything up either since I know that is a very important part of keep the motor cool. What's everyone's opinions? Impeller issue? Fix it yourself? Or just bite the bullet and take it in? It's a 1999 130hp Johnson. Purchased used last fall and have no idea when the owner last changed the impeller. [/QUOTE]
