MASE 2.5 - Raw Water Impeller Life

[Ken Boyd]

I recently had the raw water impeller on my MASE 2.5 generator fail at 58 hours of use since the last impeller change. I was wondering how many hours other owners are getting with the raw water impellers on their MASE 2.5 generators?

I got about 11 hours on my first one. So far I have about 78 hours on my replacement. Total of 89 hours. I replaced the fuel pump at 11 hours also. Mase would not warranty it because they said I did not exercise it enough. Ranger Tugs sent me a replacement fuel pump at no charge after Andrew helped me trouble shoot the problem. No Mase support though. Mase says you need to run it at least an hour per month.

...snip... Mase says you need to run it at least an hour per month.

I wonder if that also applies to the engine's raw water impeller. 😉

It applies to exercise of the Mase generator.

We've got 110 hours on our impeller in the Mase 2.5. I took it out a while back and it was in good shape so I stuck it back in but keep a replacement onboard. That's 110 hours in two years, is this more or less then others.....at 55 hours per year average so far?

We got about 13 hours before failure.
