You had mentioned that you also had ordered the Sierra equivalent of 47-89980. Did you end up feeling that they were too tight on the shaft?

Those ended up being “bigger”.
The 47-89981 I used had a center bore of .453
and the 47-89980 were .457.

Someone mentioned they had to bore the hubs ever so slightly
to fit over the driveshaft. Not sure what make or number those
impellers would have been.

All the impellers I got were Chinesium, so “fit” may not be as
good as the OEM impellers.
When I ordered the impellers, I ordered six all together, not
being sure if I was fixing two motors or one, or which impellers
would work out.

Prepare to be boarded!
