[QUOTE="MiPikeGuy, post: 325488, member: 12227"] Fired up my new-to-me 80/81 4.5hp Mercury earlier and discovered it barely/doesn't pee. It barely drips. I looked at the screen near the prop and I can see a chunk of black plastic that I'm assuming is a chunk of the impeller. Obviously I need to replace it, anything else I should do while I'm at it? Does anybody know the part# for a water pump/impeller kit and somewhere to buy it? I looked it up in the Mercury parts catalog but it lists several and mentions shaft size.... Is there a way to figure out shaft size without tearing it apart? Serial # 5809982 if that makes a difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
