How the hell do I get this out??

small piece of wood in there. Seems pretty tightly stuck.

I have read before where people let it dry out for a couple days and as it shrinks you can just chip it on out. If not I had to pull my pump last season and after doing it once it is not hard at all. Guess it just depends on how quick you need to be back on the water!

I have had luck in simply reaching up there and working it loose with my hand or a small pair of pliers. You can also use a pair of pliers with long handles to reach up there better and work it loose. Worst case is to pull the impeller out but I have never had to do that yet.

It probably will be easiest to just pull the impeller out. If everything goes easily you can do it in 15 minutes.
Look at this link from our FAQ section for lots of great tips,

can you get something long and strong and tap on it with a hammer to loosen it up?

trained termites would probably work, or use a hair dryer and dry it out then work it from under the boat using a long screwdriver or a piece of heavy gauge wire with a hook bent at the end of it. Basically it will go out the way it went in.

When in doubt, use fire.

but that could hurt the termites

How about a long drill be extender and drill it out.

If it won't tap or pull out, just pull the pump....should take 15 minutes.

Thanks guys for the ideas. I started training the termites tonight. They don't listen that great and my pet gecko keeps eating them.

Dislike for poor punmenship!

I think the fire would work well while running at 6000 rpm. That would be a great afterburner!!!

Long screwdriver and hammer did the trick. Thanks guys!!

reach up with something from the bottom and tap on it, you will be amazed how easy it will fall out. But if it doesn't work,, use the fire..
