Just learned something new yesterday. Started to do an oil change on my stbd engine but the reverso pump wasn't sucking oil. Took the end cover off and found that there was a small rubber impeller which had four broken blades.
Research revealed that there are actually recommendations that suggest replacing this impeller every year! (A bit much I think) but nevertheless, something to be aware of. It never occurred to me that this was even a maintenance item. My last boat had a reverso pump which I used for eleven years and never had any issues with. I guess it was just luck.
