1997 Hunter 376 with 150 hours on the engine (3 jh2) an alarm, steam out the exhaust; the raw water pump offered 6 little rubber paddles to Neptune.
I read on line that the alternator was in the way. Several hours of cooling I placed a folded towel over the top of the engine to lay over and was able to remove the plate, pry out the impeller, and replace without any other tear down. The bottom inside bolt was a little difficult to install.
All and all the dread and wait for the engine to cool were the worst part.
Thank goodness for BoatUS unlimited and a nice stack of spare parts left by the previous owner.
