Damaged prop/impeller

[seadoocer]

Hi guys,

Just registered and I already have a question. I was trying to be nice and tow someone in at the river and hit a shallow spot. I know some rocks have damaged my impeller, judging from the large nicks on the outer part of the blades. I believe this is causing the RPMs to sky rocket and I go know where out of the shoot. But once I get going it still halls butt! I was told it was cavitating the water it affects the bottom end.

Any idea where to purchase a new impeller? Any idea how much $ they cost? Is this something I can do myself or am I going to get raped at the dealer? Oh and one last question (i know there has been a lot for my first post, sorry) do I need to replace anything else if i do it myself (ie: seals or gaskets)?

I'd appreciate any feedback. I heard this place is awesome. Also u response very quickly.

Thanks
