Smelly,
Which type key do you have? OMC have used both a narrow key that fits in a slot and also a key that sits on a flat on the shaft.
Plastic key you mentioned, so I suspect the flat on the shaft type.
With one finger holding the key on the shaft, slide the impeller down over the key. Make sure you have your alignment of the key and slot right.
Post up some pics if you can just to make sure you don't have an incorrectly supplied part or something else strange. Fitting the impeller should take approx 5 seconds.
Cheers
HI BM.
flat on shaft with round curve - liek an airofoil.
tried your technique and the key simply slides out as the impellor is lowered down..squashing the impellor O-ring on way...
I have also tried the old key - NO go.
I don't want to state the obvious but you have aligned the slot on the impellor, with the Key.
Does the old impellor fit back on no problem.

HI - just got back from the XMAS shopping...what a bore!!!
WOuld'nt I rather be f king around withthis damn key...?
ANyway, yes slot is aslined to impeloer.
I cannot get the old key back on with either impellor..
Maybe I am not holding my tounge right??
WHich way shoudl the key be facing?
Round end in to the shaft, so the straight edge of the key slides in to the straight slot of the impellor.
Yep shoppings a bore.

Use a dab of grease or vasoline in the keyway then place the woodruff key in under some pressure to create suction/surface tension with the key tilted down just a tad at the end that faces the direction the impeller slides toward it.
Then use upward tilting force on the impeller when each meet, wiggle slightly as the slide together,hope that makes sense, you will gain a couple of thousand's here. If you fail use less tilt on the key next time, only a fraction of tilt works best. Best of luck it can be a pain sometimes.
cheers fnq
thnaks
still going..i try all this but hte key wont hold - just keeps getting pushed out - yes impellor an dshaft recess is aligned..
The key does slide in to the impellor with out putting it on the shaft ??
Or maybe theres some gunge in the key way so the key don't get in far enough on the shaft.

Guts.
What do u mean round end in to the sahft?
there is no straigh tlot on the impellor....
confused about what u said her...
........................ I DID IT! ................................. I DID IT! .......................
Once again, my lack of fundamental knowhow on outboards comes to the fore.....
I had the impellor incorreclty fitted onto shaft..upside down.
I assumed the recess in the impellor sleeve went right through to other side...
So, I was there trying to force this damn key into the face of the sleeve...
What a drama for something so simple!
Bm is right - 5 second job if the impellor is on correctly on shaft..
AAAAHHHHH dear.
Sorry guys for creating mayhem and blashopmusu remarks..
I just hope i have not damaged anything around the shaft base, impellor sleeve - during htis rampage. Would I of have?
Smelly
Dunno, did you hit it with a hammer????
It should be fine.
You know, in on epost i was typing I wrote make sure the impeller is the right way around as many of them are one way fitment..... Then I deleted it thinking if I write thate which might seem obvious I might be insulting you... figuring that you would have noticed that.
Sorry mate!
Cheers
Smelly your learning pretty quick, don't worry about the swearing I fell off me chair laughing about it.
I don't know what damage the key moving would have done.
Do you think you damaged a seal or O' ring mucking about with it.
