Well, I was able to replace the impeller without taking the shaft out. Seached previous threads and it looks like some say beware of sliding out the shaft and some say it's ok. So, with a bit of cursing, good reading glasses and some more cursing, I was able to get er done. The special little pliers are a must!!!
Question: Does the cir clip ever really look like it is completely inserted in the grove all the way around the pump shaft?
Most of it appears to be inserted, but it seems like kind of a funky design. I had the same apprehension on our previous boat with the same setup. I ran the motor and double checked the clip and it seems to be fine.
