Installation Guide
Professional installation is highly recommended. The following are general guidelines:
-
Safety First: Disconnect the battery and ensure the engine is securely mounted on a stand or transom.
-
Drain Gearcase Oil: Place a drain pan under the lower unit and remove the upper and lower drain screws to drain the gear lube.
-
Remove Lower Unit: Unbolt the lower unit from the upper casing. This may require an assistant.
-
Access Water Pump: With the lower unit removed, locate and unbolt the water pump housing.
-
Inspect and Clean: Remove the old impeller, gaskets, and plates. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly.
-
Install New Components: Install the new gasket, outer plate, woodruff key, and impeller. Ensure the impeller vanes are oriented correctly.
-
Reassemble Pump: Lubricate the new O-rings and install the cartridge insert. Secure the housing with the new bolts and tighten to the specified torque.
-
Reattach Lower Unit: Slide the lower unit back into place, ensuring the driveshaft, shift shaft, and water tube align correctly. Bolt it securely.
-
Refill Gearcase Oil: Pump new gear lube into the lower drain hole until it seeps out of the upper hole, then replace both screws.
-
Test Operation: Reconnect the battery. Start the engine using a water supply (flushing muffs) and verify a steady stream of water from the tell-tale port.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
First, check the comprehensive "Compatible Engine Models" table on this page. For Yamaha owners, you can use the linked serial number guide to identify your exact model and year, then cross-reference it with our compatibility list. Always compare the part numbers and product images to your old parts before ordering.
How often should a water pump impeller be replaced?
As a general maintenance rule, the water pump impeller should be inspected annually and replaced every 1-2 years or 100-200 hours of use, whichever comes first. This interval can be shorter if you operate in saltwater or water with high sediment levels.
What are the signs of a failing water pump?
Common signs include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet port, and a dry, cracked, or brittle impeller upon inspection. A damaged housing or seal can also cause water leaks and pressure loss.
What is included in this kit?
This is a complete repair kit that includes the housing, impeller, outer plate, gaskets, O-rings, dowel pins, bolts, and the woodruff key. Please refer to the "Package Contents" list for a detailed breakdown with part numbers.
