Safety First: Disconnect the battery and ensure the engine is securely mounted.

Access the Lower Unit: Drain the gearcase oil. Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the upper engine housing.
-
Remove the Old Pump: With the lower unit separated, locate and unbolt the water pump housing.
-
Disassemble: Carefully remove the old housing, impeller, gaskets, and wear plate. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly.
-
Install New Components: Install the new wear plate, gaskets, and woodruff key on the driveshaft.
-
Install Impeller: Slide the new impeller onto the driveshaft, turning the shaft clockwise to bend the vanes correctly.
-
Install Housing: Lubricate the inside of the new insert cartridge and housing, then slide it down over the impeller.
-
Reassemble: Secure the new housing with the provided bolts, torqued to manufacturer specifications.
-
Reinstall Lower Unit: Guide the lower unit back into place, ensuring the driveshaft, shift shaft, and water tube align. Bolt it securely.
-
Final Checks: Refill the gearcase with fresh oil. Reconnect the battery.
-
Test Operation: Start the engine in the water or with a proper flushing attachment ("muffs") and confirm a steady stream of water from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this fits my engine?
A: The most reliable method is to match your engine's model and year against the compatibility tables above. We also recommend using the provided model identification guides and part number cross-reference to verify a match before ordering.
Q: What are the common signs of a failing water pump impeller?
A: Key symptoms include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, and in some cases, a faint burning rubber smell if the impeller has run dry and disintegrated.
Q: How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
A: As a general rule for preventative maintenance, it is recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation, depending on usage conditions (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater).
