Impeller Removal Tool?

[dcnorman07]

I am needing to replace my impeller on my 2014 AR192 and cannot find what the part # is for the impeller removal tool. Does anybody know?

I'm hoping this will help my issue of not being able to get the boat on plane under heavier loads. Had about 1,080 lbs of body weight and it couldn't get it on plane and I have a hard time popping adult wakeboarders out of the water.

You can get the adapter to hold the driveshaft from Solas. --->http://islandracing.net/192.html (SOLAS DRIVESHAFT HOLDER
WR014H $29.95)

Then all you do is use a vice and a wrench and unscrew it. Look up youtube videos...

Man...that is a lot of damage for very new boats. Where are you boating?

I just bought mine about a month and a half ago in Nebraska (I live in OKC, OK). This is my first boat and even though I did a lot of research beforehand, I didn't know enough to look at the impeller or it had slipped my mind.

It runs great with lighter loads and during the test run, we got up to 51-52mph. Figured everything had to be good to hit those speeds. It has ran like that since I've had it home as well, it's just under the heavier loads is when I start having plane issues.

I have watched a few videos and read up on how to change it, I just can't seem to find the part number of the removal tool. Seems easy enough with a little elbow grease.

Currently been boating at Arcadia Lake which has a sand/mud bottom. The guy I bought it from used to run it straight up on the banks of where he boated, so I'm assuming he picked up several rocks doing that?

I just purchased this part. The reviews say it worked on a 2015 AR192. Hope it's the right one. This is the cheapest price I found. I have not used it yet, so I can't say if it will work.

Here is a setup that worked for me several times. Different prop in this pic, but the same concept. You would be standing in front and pushing down - with an impeller wrench - the prop thread is left-handed.
That vice is barely big enough, BTW.

An example of a cheater bar that works - this one is 6ft iron support arm for a lift/crane

and the best wrench I found for these neck nuts on OEM impellers, easy to use with a cheater bar/pipe:

The Columbia river went down a great deal in the couple of weeks between boat trips... came up on inches of water pretty far off the bank pretty quickly..

Order impeller and tool today....

 

[dcnorman07]

That's a great price on the impeller! Ordered my impeller and O-ring from partzilla and they will be here Tuesday. Paid $220 shipped for those.

Ordered the removal tool from Impros and paid $30 shipped for it. Should be here Tuesday or Wednesday. Looks like Thursday will be attempted install day. Hope it goes smoothly.

Boat is loaded and ready to go for today. Just waiting on a couple friends to get here and we're off to the lake. Hopefully it will be the last outing with the jacked up impeller. *fingers crossed*

Well, I got the new impeller installed tonight. We're going to take the boat out tomorrow evening for a test run. The removal wasn't too bad. I took into over to a friends house because he had a bench vice, however, we ended up having to improvise because the torque required was literally lifting the bolts that held the vice to the table straight out. Here was our improvised solution that ended up working really well. 27mm wrench for the impeller and 30mm wrench for the removal tool, FYI.

I don't think this is the right impeller... Looks like OEM for the MR-1 impeller model (not 1.8).
I totally could be wrong.

@malibu Dan IDK, maybe check with @viper15. I think the one you have on order may not be the correct one...

[malibu Dan]

I'm starting to think that as well.. I sent a message to viper and will see how his worked out..

 

[malibu Dan]

Thank you @swatski and @viper15.... I have the right impeller coming from Berts Mega Mall in Cali (Mario super helpful).... also shout out to PWC parts in Maryland for letting me return the impeller I ordered incorrectly.. new impeller be here Friday...

 

[dcnorman07]

Just to follow up, we took the boat out this evening with the new impeller and it made a world of difference! It jumps right out of the water like it should, now. It feels almost like a new boat.

I wish I had the tools or location to do this myself... seems like a dealer will charge an arm and leg to do this for me. After selling my house and moving to Cali for work I live in an apartment without the proper tools

 

[Scottintexas]

@paratrooper39 pulling the pump and removing the impeller and shaft is an easy job with minimal tools or effort,
you could then take it to any PWC shop and ask them to remove and install the new impeller, that would save a lot of labor cost
