Installation Guide
-
Safety First: Disconnect the battery and ensure the engine is securely positioned before starting.
-
Remove Lower Unit: Drain the gearcase oil, then unbolt and carefully remove the lower unit (gearcase) from the outboard motor.
-
Access the Pump: Locate and unbolt the water pump housing, which sits on top of the gearcase.
-
Disassemble: Remove the old housing, impeller, wear plate, gaskets, and O-rings. Note the orientation of the impeller vanes.
-
Clean Surfaces: Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces, removing any old gasket material or corrosion.
-
Install New Components: Place the new gasket and cartridge plate. Insert the new impeller into the housing, rotating it in the correct direction to bend the vanes properly.
-
Reassemble Pump: Install the new O-rings and dowel pins. Securely bolt the housing back onto the gearcase, tightening bolts to the manufacturer's torque specifications.
-
Reinstall Lower Unit: Guide the lower unit back into place, ensuring the driveshaft and water tube align correctly. Bolt it securely.
-
Final Checks: Refill the gearcase with fresh oil. Reconnect the battery and start the engine on a water supply to verify a strong, steady stream from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my specific engine?
A: Please use the "Compatible Engine Models" table above. Cross-reference your outboard's model, horsepower, and year to ensure it is listed. Verifying the OEM part number (6AW-W0078-00) against your engine's service manual is the most reliable method.
Q: Do I need to buy the water pump housing separately?
A: Yes. This kit includes all the internal components like the impeller, gaskets, and plates, but it is designed for use with the existing water pump housing (6AW-44311-01-00). If your housing is cracked, warped, or heavily corroded, you must purchase it separately.
Q: What are the signs of a failing water pump?
A: Common symptoms include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, an alarm sounding, or a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet. Reduced engine performance can also be a sign of poor cooling.
Q: How often should I replace the water pump impeller and kit?
A: For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to replace the water pump impeller and related seals every 1 to 2 years, or every 100-200 hours of operation, depending on usage conditions (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater).
Q: OEM vs. Aftermarket?
A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.
Q: How fast do you ship and how much does it cost?
A: We offer fast global shipping—typically 5–15 days worldwide—and standard shipping is free. Expedited options are available at checkout depending on your location.
Q: What is your warranty and return policy?
A: This product includes a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If something goes wrong, contact our support team with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard return window (unused & in original condition); please see our policy page or reach out for instructions.
