Impellers

What is an Impeller and What is its Role?

An impeller is a component that has the shape of a small wheel with flexible blades, typically made of rubber or plastic. The main function of the impeller is to pump water through the engine’s cooling system. As the impeller rotates, the blades create a water flow, allowing the coolant to circulate through the engine system and effectively cool it down. This is crucial to prevent engine overheating during long journeys or working cycles. This technology is chosen for its compactness, efficiency, and ease of maintenance. It is important to regularly check the condition of the impeller and replace it if the blades are damaged or worn to ensure reliable cooling system functionality. Without a functional impeller, the engine could be exposed to the risk of overheating, which could cause serious damage. The choice of the right impeller depends on the specifications of your boat engine and sailing conditions.

Why is it Important to Choose Quality Impellers?

Quality impellers are essential for the efficient maintenance of boat engines. Properly selected and regularly replaced impellers ensure that the engine runs smoothly and reduce the risk of overheating.

When is it Time for a New Impeller?

Although impellers are designed for long-lasting use, over time they wear out and lose their efficiency. Regular replacement of impellers is crucial for maintaining system integrity. Here are a few signs that it’s time to replace your impeller:

• Engine Overheating: In the case of the engine cooling system, engine overheating could be a sign that the impeller is no longer performing its function.
• Reduced Water Flow: Reduced water flow from the engine’s exhaust.
• Replacement after a maximum of 2 years, with the recommendation of replacement once a year.
