Installation Guide
-
Prepare the Engine: Disconnect the battery and spark plug wire for safety. Place the engine in a stable, upright position.
-
Remove Lower Unit: Unbolt and carefully detach the lower gearcase unit from the outboard's upper section.
-
Access the Pump: Locate and unbolt the water pump housing cover to expose the old impeller.
-
Remove Old Impeller: Note the rotational direction of the old impeller vanes. Pry or pull the old impeller off the driveshaft. Remove the impeller key.
-
Clean and Inspect: Clean any debris or corrosion from the housing, wear plate, and cover. Inspect for deep grooves or damage.
-
Install New Impeller: Lightly grease the housing interior. Insert the new impeller key and slide the new impeller onto the shaft, twisting it in the direction of engine rotation to bend the vanes correctly.
-
Reassemble: Secure the water pump housing cover with its bolts, ensuring a proper seal.
-
Reinstall Lower Unit: Guide the lower unit back into place, aligning the driveshaft, shift shaft, and water tube. Bolt it securely.
-
Test Operation: Reconnect the spark plug and use a water source (flushing muffs) to run the engine at idle. Confirm a steady stream of water from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this fits my engine?
A: The best way is to check your original part number against our "Part Number Cross-Reference" table. Also, review the "Compatible Engine Models" table to ensure your specific model and year range are listed.
Q: What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
A: Common symptoms include a weak or non-existent water stream from the tell-tale (water pressure indicator), and the engine showing signs of overheating, which can trigger an alarm or cause performance issues.
Q: How often should I replace the impeller?
A: For preventative maintenance, it is highly recommended to replace the impeller annually or every 100 hours of use, whichever comes first. This is especially important for boats used in saltwater or sandy/silty conditions.
