Can the impellor be changed on the front of a 2000 volvo penta gsi by just removing the 4 slotted screws and cover? Boat is in the barn. Do i need to remove the hoses and bracket? Boat ran fine but just bought it last year and I am changing a lot of preventive maintenance items.

Bracket - yes, hoses - no. Although, it might be easier to remove the hoses and pull the assembly out of the engine compartment to replace the impellor.

Thanks I can get to it good enough now that the house batteries and box are out.

What exactly is the purpose of the bracket? My port motor had it-(although it was missing the rubber bump stop- and just had a glob of gooey RTV !@$!$#). But my starboard motor doesn't have the bracket or bolts? I guess i will be ordering that bracket, the mounting bolts, and 2 rubber bump stops. I assume it is to keep it from moving or spinning under engine torque???

The bracket should keep the impeller/housing from spinning under torque. You are right about the bump stop. I encountered an overheated or deteriorated stop this week.

I have no idea what the material is, but it literally turned into this goopy tar-based rubber slime that sticks to EVERYTHING. It's all over my impeller housing. I've tried soap, gas, kerosene, tar remover, steam, and elbow grease and it just resists it all.

Yeah I bought a used bracket with the 2 bolts of ebay for $80. And 2 new bump stops from Michiganmotorz for $9.78 each.
