Is the replacement black impeller with SS shaft still available to purchase somewhere. I have a blue one in one of my older heads and it seems like that model needs the older black impeller. Thanks!

The propellers are blue now but this does not affect operation, it is the same size, blue propellers we make and the black were an off the shelf model boat propeller and the material was not as durable for our purposes but they are the same in all other respects. You need the older style drive unit 6105.700, just keep in mind that a pump this old has exceeded its expected life span by a fair amount and is "living in the bonus round" it may not be the best investment to service it. Typically a DC pump will only last about 8 years as that is the life span of the capacitors on the circuit board assuming continuous use, pumps using black impellers were made before 2012.
