At my shop I charge an hour for impeller, which is 80 labor and depending on the impeller syle the impeller is 25 or 32. The bellows job including a permalube sealed gimbal bearing is 5 hours for 400 and the bellows kit is 230, of course the items include sales tax. I agree with a few item OSMs says but impellers are not an item us mechanics use to make money, they are an item to assure that you enjoy your day and summer on the water. A failed impeller can be very severe and my biggest bill to date on a fried impeller was over 4500, the boat almost burnt to the water line. Impellers can be damaged by dirt, starved of water by a bag, but the common failure is age and rot. As my prices show, the cost is easily justified as preventitive and just simply not worth the risk. If I can help I will be glad to. Jeff
