Novice Impeller Question

[quinne]

Quick, very basic question... where do you purchase a replacement impeller? I looked up "INDM-A036" and google sent me to Amazon.

I purchased an'07 Response this time last year and we're getting ready to do the winter maintenance. The boat is mine but my rockstar husband helps me with all of the mechanical stuff. (In this case it is the wife who is in love her boat and hubby wants nothing to do with it. But he loves me so he tolerates my ski habit.) 

I already purchased an impeller puller.

Thanks,

Elissa

First of all, dump the bum!  LOL (Just kidding...)  You can get an impeller from bakesonline.com skidim.com or Ron over at skiboatpartsonline.com.  Or Amazon - which is where I get my impellers.  Your water pump uses a Johnson F6B-9 impeller  - I think it is the same as my 99.

@Eagleboy99 thank you! You saved me a ton of time. 

And my husband is following the happy wife happy life philosophy. He also never saw a lake house in his future but here we are.  All part of my master plan! It works for both of us. I go out and ski and he goes out and rides his mountain bike. Only bummer is when I can't find a driver. I'm grooming (brain washing) my little girl to cover that one!

Just a tip, when winterizing after you have done changing the oil (if required), drain the water and pull out your impeller.  You don't need to put your impeller back in until spring and it's better for the impeller to not sit static in the housing all winter anyways.  I've made a habit of doing this an the impellers last a lot longer this way.  I wish my wife was as enthusiastic about skiing as you!
