Gulp! I am about to try doing some basic servicing on my Tohatsu four stroke 3.5hp outboard for the first time.
I have just placed an order for
I have just placed an order for
- engine oil 1 Lt 10w-30
- gear lub oil - SAE 90 275ml and attachment to get it in the right places
- some new shear and split pins
- a new spark plug NGK DCPR-6E
- new gear case oil plug washers
I'm musing on whether I have the ability to check and if need be replace the impeller.
Gulp!

You're going to need to check it, so you may as well replace it.. :o)
Rats - I thought someone might say that! Ah well - nothing ventured nothing gained. Stay safe Steve
The impeller is probably the most important thing as Steve T W says you need to check it so might as well replace and if the old one is still good keep it for an emergency spare. Grease all the screws and nuts on re assembly so it’ll be easy next time, Biggest problem is people don’t check and then when the impeller goes everything is seized solid.
thanks Max - i know I have to bite the bullet so just ordered it - ho hum - knowing my ability to botch things up eh? Hope you are all well - stay well my friend - enjoy your local coastline and rivers
Also check the housing is not distorted. Jon, new owner of pugwash here.
