After changing out the OEM impeller housing twice due to swelling, I finally bit the bullet and installed the Solas stainless steel impeller housing. Hopefully I won't have to do this again.
Video includes servicing the cone bearing and intake screen.

So thorough. I love how you explain exactly what’s going on!!
I really admire the way you explain (and demonstrate) the process. It makes it much easier to understand and get the job done properly and much easier.
Thanks Cap'n
You're very welcome, glad to help!
Yes Rom, after 10 years of ownership, I finally changed my engine anode. That video is in progress, spoiler alert.. it was a challenge to replace, not for the faint of heart..lol.
Love your sense of humor. I am a former Long Islander, now in Naples Florida
Thanks Jay! I have a place in Delray Beach but may want to explore the west coast as well. Thanks for watching!
I've been watching a lot of vids on how to do this and your video is by far the best, cheers.
Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot to me. I'll keep trying to produce informative and entertaining content.
Your original video replacing the impellor housing is what convinced me to get a jet boat. At the time I was dealing with a stern drive and the jet pump looked SO much simpler.
Thanks again for the great vids!
Thanks Russel, I appreciate you taking the time to reach out. Are you happy with your boat?
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore yes very happy, we have a '19 AR195. I sometimes wish it was bigger but otherwise perfect boat.
After 10 years of ownership I also sometimes wish it was bigger, but there are many times I'm very happy its not. Its so easy to maintain, manuever, trailer, wash, etc., I'm happy to keep what I have.@@rhtufts
Great diy video. Thank you.
Looking forward to more content
Thanks James! Glad you enjoyed it. If subscribed, make sure to hit the notification bell to learn of newly published videos of mine. Peace!
Always love your video, appreciate the attention to detail and doing a job right, not like a hack!
Sorry man, I believe in oem also, usually you get what you pay for. Hopefully new part shows there is better than oem.
Thanks! I appreciate the compliments.Let's see how this one works out.
I have a 07' AR230 that has always been used in salt water. I replaced my housings just after one year, fortunately for me I made the right decision to buy the aftermarket stainless units from Riva and never looked back. From my experience so far the open end, nut retainer design works and I haven't had any issues.
Sorry about your misfortune and great video.
Thanks max, I appreciate the information and your compliments. Thanks for reaching out!
Great information and tutorial. Makes me believe I can do it as well.
Thanks John, and that's my goal. I try and cover the repair in detail and hope to do it correctly. If it helps some folks it's win-win.
Capt. Leon, great video! Haven’t had to do this yet but I’m sure it’s coming. By the way, Harbor Freight has cheap brass punches to use instead of a small screwdriver. 😉
Thanks Brett, appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching!
Welcome to the stainless steel club! You’ll never hear that banging ever again! Hopefully this will be the last time you have to pull that pump out!
Thanks Boating propless!
Thank you very much...very good Information
Glad to help Richard!
Impellah 😂 Great videos, subscribed!
Thanks Orlando, must be my NY accent! Thanks for watching :)
? Did you put grease on the splines of the shaft. Great video by the way.
oem is the best BUT there is a cheaper alterative and in certain condition's may be advisable . the banging on the water hose comes from metal on metal with the stainless setup something will have to give eventually . My suggestion is the plastic insert (wear ring ) its easy to install and will only wear the ring not the expensive impeller . also IF anything aka rocks .shells.ect goes in it your chances of a motor lock up and serious damage are a lot less .. hope my suggestion helps someone on a budget.
All good points, I hear ya. But the banging on the garden hose was mostly caused from the swell points on the OEM due to corrosion between the aluminum and stainless layers. Now that its all stainless its quiet, but you're right, no room for error.
3/4 of the cone Leo thats how much you fill the cone ... BTW the lucky 13 pitched cones are amazing gained me 3mph and hole shot is amazing !!! no lie
Where do you purchase them?
This was a great tutorial Cpt. Leon, thank you for sharing. I was wondering if you have done the engine anode replacement? I just stumbled on a video from JBP product # 69j11301--11. Well thanks again and God Bless!
Great video! Leon, were you able to get an answer about the two different types of grease in the cone & bearing?
Hey Mark. Actually, no. I never got an answer. One person said the Epnoc grease liquifies when warm and further supports the general bearing grease.. Crazy stuff. Peace!
Leon, whats the part# for this? All I'm seeing is the one for Waverunner, 66v-51312-01-94, but the boats end in -00. Is it the same part?
Hi Alan, I believe I provide that in the first 3 minutes of the video. If you don't see it let me know. Cheers.
Hey Captain do you have a video replacing the impeller? Or have a good link? Thanks Jay!!
Hey Jay. I'm sorry I don't. I'm still running on my original impeller! I have seen other videos on RUclips covering it.
Technical bulletins from Yamaha for winterization if you could post it or tell us where to get it that would be great thank you
I honestly don't recall where I got it. Someone sent it to me. Try googling it. It's really meant for dealers. sorry, best I could do.
Is the service manual unique to each boat? I just purchased a used 2015 AR210…
Basically yes, but the engine and jet pump housing remained consistent through many models for many years. I believe your boat would be exactly the same, this was a 2014 190.
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore thank you!
Does the problem with rubbing affect Impeller ?
Yes, it begins to wear down the edges. Left for too long and the damage to the Impeller would require it be replaced, so far I have gotten lucky. Watch my earlier video on this issue as it goes into that more: ruclips.net/video/YDIGz1VXLls/видео.htmlsi=Qbon3BjhPXKS67hX
i never use locktight .. i use lil 4200 on threads and it works perfect easily removable and as well as acting as a locktight per say
Hmnn, 4200 really isn't intended as a thread sealant, but if its worked for you, so be it.
Hello, what is the latest situation? Are there any problems?
Well it's been great. It's winter now but soon I will be firing it up again!
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore OK, we are waiting for the results. Thank you.
Would something like that be covered under warranty?
I doubt it, they would probably say that similar to brakes and tires on our cars, it's normal wear and tear. But I'm honestly not sure. Great question!
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore bummer!
yeah agreed!@@MichalLempicki
Captain Leon out of topic on your post, not know how to directly email you. I subscribe to your channel and reality appreciate your help through your videos. I have same model 2013 SX190, recently I’ve seen random, intermittent, not consistent oil leak on the bilge, I did tape a paper towel to find out where it’s coming from, initially thoughts could be from bolts, I also read someone post that could be on the oil cooler right where oil filter attached. I have telescopic video camera but still can’t pinpoint leak.
Just want to know if you’ve seen same, or is it something I should be worried about, oil leak does not impact the oil I see on dip stick so far, but will keep an eye on this.
Appreciate your help.
Hey Edgar, I have not experienced this. The only thing you could do is keep wiping everywhere with a paper towel to see if you can find where it's coming from. Any chance it's weeping from the bottom of the oil filter?
Watch this video from "Boating Propless" it may shed some light on some possibilities: ruclips.net/video/xSPrmd_oe2M/видео.htmlsi=432co72T96HPNvcp
Were you using antifreeze in your boat anytime that will cause that issue swelling but the stainless steel will be no problem
Thanks Coda, the swelling seems to get worse when sitting dry for a few days in-between outings. Returning from a day out, it seemed less severe. How are you determining that antifreeze can play a factor?
Certain types of antifreeze will attack certain Metals in a Tri Val a n c e state a great example if you put regular green antifreeze in a Toyota it will start to disintegrate the aluminum copper and other metal you have to use the pink toyota antifreeze , it is a chemical reaction it does take a little while for this to happen but any contact I would say just to make sure you using correct antifreeze from the Yamaha boat maker I also notice you said you use in saltwater even after you flush engine salt also has a chemical and electrical reaction so if you spray down jet drive assembly inside and out with a corrosion inhibitor I think they call it yamashield
damaged on same side, same area ?, tells me a bearing is bad.
Perhaps the torque moves it that way, but with the new housing its real quiet now, so not sure the bearings are bad.
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore you will know before too long when you run it longer.
@@alanshaw4655 been running it for a year now, we will see.
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore good deal, hope it holds up for ya !.
The wear is due to the tourqe on the impeller when there's a lack of water. Aka cavitation or reving the engine on a hose.
Cavitation is due to vapor bubbles when water is being expelled past an impeller or propeller at high speed, this does not take place while reving the engine on the hose. There can be wear from play in the shaft while the impeller is spinning out of the water, but the swelling of the housing in spots due to dissimilar metals is a known issue.
