Installation Guide
-
Safety First: Disconnect the engine's battery and shift the outboard into the neutral position.
-
Access the Pump: Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) and carefully lower it from the midsection.
-
Disassemble Housing: Locate the water pump assembly on top of the gearcase. Unbolt and remove the pump housing to expose the impeller.
-
Remove Old Components: Take note of the impeller's rotational direction. Remove the old impeller, gaskets, and wear plate.
-
Clean Surfaces: Thoroughly clean all sealant and corrosion from the housing, plate, and gearcase mating surfaces.
-
Install New Gaskets: Place the new lower gasket and housing plate onto the gearcase.
-
Insert New Impeller: Slide the new impeller into the housing. Rotate the driveshaft in its normal direction of operation to help seat the impeller vanes correctly.
-
Reassemble and Secure: Reinstall the pump housing with the new upper gasket and tighten the bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque.
-
Final Steps: Reattach the lower unit to the engine, ensuring all connections are secure. Once assembled, test the engine using a water source ("muffs") to confirm proper water flow from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my specific engine?
A: This kit is confirmed to fit Yamaha 9.9 HP and 15 HP, 2-stroke and 4-stroke, 2-cylinder models manufactured between 1996 and 2024. To be certain, please cross-reference your engine's model and year in the "Compatible Engine Models" table above.
Q: What are the signs that my water pump impeller is failing?
A: Common symptoms of a worn or damaged impeller include a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, engine overheating alarms, or steam from the exhaust. We recommend visually inspecting the impeller during annual service.
Q: How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
A: As a preventative maintenance measure, it is best practice to replace your impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation. Frequent use in saltwater or sandy/silty conditions may require more frequent replacement.
