    Putting lube on the impeller seems pointless to me every time you shut the motor off and the lower unit is out of the water the impeller and housing are dry with no lube.
    Am I missing something?

    Youi don’t start your motor out of the water. Or at least you shouldn’t. The lube aids in impeller installation and also protects it if doing a compression test or turning the flywheel checking for spark before starting the motor in water.
