I have been reading that it might be hard to get at the raw water impeller to change on my boat.
I have a 2005 FV250 with a 5.7 Volvo penta engine. It looks to be at the front of the engine, will this be hard to get at? If i do get a mechanic to do it, how much labour for this.......I have also heard some may need the engine removed to change it. Is this the case with my engine setup or is it fairly straight forward for a volvo mechanic?
Thanks!

Bruce is right, it's quite easy. I hadn't done it ever, and took about 1,5 hours, but I wanted to learn how to do it in case on emergency...
The difficult part is that you can not see the impeller housing properly. Take amount of pictures with your cell, and you will figure out how that can be detached and you have documents of the work.
Note the direction of the old impeller and put the new one as the old one was. Use lube to put the new one inside housing. Clean the housing.
Here's a couple of pics.
