I think you misinterpreted my post.
The link was to Noah's suggestion on another thread

Keel: (and everyone) ( "It would help if you listed your boat's specifics (year hull, engine, etc.) on your signature line to help folks better target responses to your questions."  (my emphasis added)

If you haven't yet, don't bother with the zip ties.  I just hold the impeller on the shaft in front of the pump and twist it while pushing gently.  it goes right in.  Then I keep twisting to get the inside end of the shaft set properly and then impeller vanes then go all the way in.

Yip, that's what I ended up doing Stu. Except, I didn't touch the shaft.
