Changing Fresh Water Impeller on Rinker 246

We have a 2015 Rinker 246 Cuddy and I need to change the freshwater impeller. I know how, but there is essentially no room. Has anyone changed the impeller on a 246? Can you do it without removing other things from the engine (like cool fuel module, alternator, etc.)? Thanks

    Not sure on 246 but on our 232 you have to take a bunch of interior out & unscrew piece of floor to gain easy access.

    Looks the similar here. Remove back upholstery and remove a panel that allows access. In the boat right now trying to figure out how to remove rear seat without damaging things.

    Found an access panel behind the undersea cooler. Would be easier with back seats out, but think I can do it through this access hole.

    I did it on my 2007 246. I had a 5.7 in it. I laid on the top of the motor and worked like a monkey. Undo the quick connecter on the inlet side and the rest is just working by feel. its not easy but it can be done.

    Managed to get it done. It is a chore, by feel as you say, but doable.
