Installation Guide
-
Safety First: Disconnect the engine's battery and remove the spark plug wires.
-
Access the Lower Unit: Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the engine leg and carefully lower it. You may need to disconnect a shift linkage.
-
Remove Old Pump: Unscrew the bolts on the top of the water pump housing and slide the entire assembly off the driveshaft.
-
Disassemble and Clean: Take note of the order of all components. Remove the old impeller, wear plate, gaskets, and seals. Thoroughly clean all mounting surfaces, removing any old gasket material or corrosion.
-
Install New Components: Place the new gasket and wear plate onto the lower unit. Slide the new impeller key into its slot on the driveshaft.
-
Install Impeller: Coat the new impeller and the inside of the new housing with a marine-grade lubricant. Slide the impeller onto the driveshaft while turning the shaft clockwise to bed the vanes correctly.
-
Secure New Housing: Install the new gasket and pump housing, ensuring all seals are correctly seated. Tighten the bolts to the manufacturer-specified torque.
-
Reinstall Lower Unit: Carefully guide the lower unit back into place, ensuring the driveshaft, water tube, and shift shaft align. Re-secure with bolts.
-
Final Checks: Reconnect the shift linkage and battery. Start the engine in water and immediately verify a steady stream of water is exiting the tell-tale port.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this kit fits my Johnson/Evinrude engine?
First, check the "Compatible Engine Models" table above. This kit is designed for 20, 25, 30, and 35 HP 2-stroke models made from 1980 onwards. For further confirmation, you can use the official Johnson/Evinrude serial number guide linked above to identify your exact model and year, then cross-reference the OEM part number 393630.
What are the signs that my water pump is failing?
The most common signs of a failing water pump are a weak or inconsistent stream of water from the "telltale" indicator, or the engine overheating alarm sounding. Reduced engine performance, especially at higher speeds, can also indicate a cooling problem.
How often should I replace my water pump impeller?
As a critical part of preventative maintenance, it is recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it completely every 1-2 years or 100-200 hours of use. This interval should be shortened if you operate primarily in saltwater or sandy/silty conditions.
