Any idea how impellers are fastened?
Impellers are fastened with a specially extra-sticky double sided tape. This is sometimes foam backed. You can usually get it off with a solvent and using a scalpel blade to lift off the first bit of the tape so you can get the solvent underneath. If you need or are interested in a new unit, Coxmate works hard to ensure that its products are compatible with others used by rowers and coaches so that you can easily switch to using Coxmates in your existing boats without great expense. Here’s a link to the Coxmate HC page.
