Installation Guide
-
Disconnect Power: Disconnect the battery and shift the outboard into neutral.
-
Drain Gear Lube: Place a drain pan under the lower unit and remove the drain/fill screws to empty the gear oil.
-
Remove Lower Unit: Unbolt the lower unit (gearcase) from the upper engine housing. This may require removing a trim tab to access a hidden bolt.
-
Access the Pump: With the lower unit removed, locate the water pump housing, typically found on top of the unit.
-
Disassemble Pump Housing: Remove the bolts securing the water pump cover. Keep track of the bolt order if they are different lengths.
-
Replace Components: Remove the old impeller, gasket, and wear plate. Note the rotational direction of the old impeller fins before removing.
-
Install New Parts: Clean the housing surfaces. Install the new plate, gasket, and impeller. When installing the new impeller, turn the driveshaft in its normal rotational direction to bend the fins correctly.
-
Reassemble: Re-install the pump housing, ensuring a proper seal. Re-attach the lower unit to the engine, refilling the gear lube, and reconnecting the battery.
-
Test Operation: Start the engine in the water or with a proper flush attachment and verify that a steady stream of water is exiting the tell-tale port.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit will fit my engine?
A: The best way is to verify your engine's model, year, and horsepower against the compatible models listed in the table above. You should also cross-reference your existing part number with the numbers listed in the "Part Number Cross-Reference" section to ensure it's a direct replacement.
Q: What are the symptoms of a failing water pump impeller?
A: Common signs include the engine overheating, an intermittent or weak water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet port, and in some cases, a dry or smoky smell from the exhaust. Failure to cool the engine can lead to severe damage.
Q: How often should I replace my water pump impeller?
A: As a general maintenance guideline, it is recommended to inspect and/or replace the water pump impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation, whichever comes first. This interval can be shorter if you frequently operate in sandy, silty, or saltwater environments.
