Installation Guide
-
Preparation: Disconnect the fuel line and remove the lower unit from the outboard motor according to your service manual. Drain all existing gear oil completely.

Remove Old Components: Disassemble the existing water pump housing and carefully remove the old impeller, gaskets, and seals. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly to ensure proper sealing.
-
Install Water Pump Kit: Follow the instructions included with part 393630 to install the new impeller, plate, and housing gaskets. Apply marine-grade grease to the impeller before installation.
-
Replace Thermostat: Remove the old thermostat housing and install the new 5005440 thermostat with a fresh gasket. Ensure proper orientation per your engine's specifications.
-
Install Cylinder Head Gasket: Replace the cylinder head cover gasket (0327674) ensuring proper alignment with all bolt holes. Torque fasteners to manufacturer specifications in a cross pattern.
-
Replace Drain Screw Gaskets: Install both new 311598 drain screw gaskets on the lower unit drain and fill plugs. Do not overtighten to avoid crushing the gaskets.
-
Install Fuel Filter: Replace the existing fuel filter with the new 0398327 filter in the fuel line. Ensure the arrow on the filter points toward the engine.
-
Add Gear Oil: Using the 24OP149 gear oil pump, fill the lower unit with the recommended marine gear oil through the lower drain hole until oil appears at the upper vent hole.
-
Reassemble Lower Unit: Reinstall the lower unit to the motor, ensuring the driveshaft engages properly. Tighten all mounting bolts to specified torque values.
-
Final Checks: Reconnect the fuel line and inspect all connections for leaks. Start the engine and verify water flow from the telltale indicator.
-
Test Run: Run the engine in a test tank or on-water for 10–15 minutes, monitoring operating temperature and water pump discharge. Check for any fuel or gear oil leaks.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my specific Johnson/Evinrude engine?
A: Cross-reference your engine's horsepower and year with the compatibility table above. Verify your original water pump uses OEM part number 393630, and use the Johnson Serial Number Guide linked above to confirm your model year.
Q: How often should I replace the water pump and these components?
A: Water pump impellers should typically be replaced every 2–3 years or 200–300 hours of operation, whichever comes first. The fuel filter should be changed annually, while gaskets and the thermostat should be inspected during each water pump service and replaced as needed.
Q: What are the signs that my water pump needs replacement?
A: Common symptoms include reduced or no water discharge from the telltale indicator, engine overheating, weak water stream, or unusual noise from the lower unit. If you notice any of these signs, inspect and replace the water pump immediately to prevent engine damage.
Q: Can I install this kit myself or do I need a professional?
A: If you have mechanical experience and the proper tools, this installation can be completed in 2–3 hours. However, it requires lower unit removal and precise torque specifications. Professional installation is recommended if you're unfamiliar with outboard service procedures.
Q: Does this kit include everything I need for a complete water pump service?
A: This package includes the water pump repair kit and related maintenance components (thermostat, fuel filter, gaskets, and gear oil pump). You will need to supply marine-grade grease for the impeller and gear oil for refilling the lower unit.
