I realize that your motor is a Clinton and that what I am talking about here applies to an Elgin…..but your Clinton impeller looks pretty similiar so I thought I’d mention it.
A few years back I had an Elgin 5HP that needed an impeller that was pretty much impossible to find. Brian Wilcox (a Member who makes impellers) suggested that I use two Mercury 47-89981 impellers stacked. I tried it….and it worked! I had to drill the driveshaft for a second pin. There are a couple of Mercury impellers similar to this one that differ by the inner diameter. You could measure your driveshaft to see which one would work.
Here’s a couple of pics…..
