Impeller puller for Yanmar 3JH series

Post by GeoffSchultz »

If you're like me and curse every time that you have to change your impeller, I just (hey, I've *only* owned BlueJacket for 23 years...) found this impeller puller for a Yanmar 3JH motor. It is part #129671-92110. This may fit other impellers. s

BlueJacket has been stuck in Guatemala for the past 2 years and hasn't moved due to Covid, so I know that the impeller won't want to budge. I hope that this makes the job easier! If this makes the job as easy as it appears, it will be worth every penny of the $27 that it costs.

Hi Geoff,
have you tried this impeller puller? Has anyone? Looking at the picture of it, I don't understand how it would work with this impeller. We've just tried to replace the impeller again after some years, and the second experience has proved to be just as traumatic as the first one, using right-angle pliers. There must be a better way.

Yes, I've used it. You have to make sure that your impeller's hub has internal threads. You may have to buy the Jabsco(?) equivalent as the new part number doesn't have the,.

So, it wouldn't work on an OEM impeller with no metal thread, it seems? That's just held on the hub by friction?

The OEM impellers used to have the threads, and then it seems that they changed suppliers.

Jabsco was the supplier for a long time. You could read the Jabsco part number on in Yanmar impeller, and could buy the Jabsco part for significantly less than the Yanmar part. Crazy!
