When you replace your water pump impeller, do you lightly grease the paper gasket, or not?

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Hey Dave

I lightly grease the impeller - tips and sides, and the gasket.

Just got in the water last nite. But have issues with my mooring location...never ends..

Hey Rick (and All),

I'm launching on Monday...Tuesday I'm taking the boat to down to the marina where I have kept my boat(s) since 2002 -- a 6-8 hour cruise from where I stored it this year. Quite a few boats are still on the hard, and my marina is only about 2/3 occupied at the moment.

The water levels in the Great Lakes were historically low last fall and winter, so many of us had to find alternative winter storage sites. What a PITA! On the bright side, the weather forecast looks good for Monday & Tuesday, though, albeit cool. The weather has been really dicey and unsettled here the last few weeks...as you may have heard, Lake Michigan can become "sporty" pretty fast. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for nice breeze and reasonable wave action, since I will likely be singlehanding it back to my home port.
