Just joined but can't figure out how to post a question on maintenance. Doesn't seem to have anywhere to setup and post.

Ahh! just figured it out. I called the tech at yanmar and asked where the raw water pump was and he said on the starboard side. 110 HP 4jh4-hte. He is wrong. According to the diagram, it is under the alternator on the port side of the engine. Hard to get to but an engineer said he had an easier way to get at the impeller by totally removing the water pump. Going to try it and see what happens. Most engineers and techs know what KISS means (keep it simple stupid).

Thanks to all for replying.
