Installation Guide
- Ensure the engine is off and disconnect the battery. Shift the outboard into the neutral position.
- Carefully remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the upper leg of the outboard.
- Gently lower the gearcase to separate it from the driveshaft housing, exposing the water pump assembly.
- Remove the bolts on the water pump housing cover to access the impeller.
- Take note of the old impeller's orientation, then remove it, along with the drive key, gaskets, and wear plates.
- Thoroughly clean the inside of the housing and all mating surfaces to remove any old gasket material or debris.
- Install the new gaskets and insert the new impeller drive key into the driveshaft.
- Lubricate the new impeller and housing. Slide the new impeller onto the driveshaft while turning it clockwise to bed the vanes correctly.
- Reinstall the water pump housing and tighten the bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque.
- Carefully guide the driveshaft back into the engine as you raise the lower unit, ensuring the water tube aligns correctly. Reinstall and tighten the gearcase bolts.
- Reconnect the battery. Before starting the engine, supply water to the lower unit and check for a strong stream from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this impeller kit fits my specific engine?
A: The best way to ensure compatibility is to verify your part number. Check the "Part Number Cross-Reference" table to see if your outboard's original part number is listed. Also, review the "Compatible Engine Models" table to confirm your engine's model and horsepower are included.
Q: What are the symptoms of a bad or failing water pump impeller?
A: The most common signs are an overheating engine alarm or a noticeably weak or non-existent stream of water from the "tell-tale" outlet on the side of your motor. This indicates insufficient water circulation, which requires immediate attention.
Q: How often should the water pump impeller be replaced?
A: As a general rule, it is recommended to inspect and/or replace the impeller every one to two years, or every 100-200 hours of use. However, usage in saltwater or sandy/murky water may require more frequent changes.
Q: OEM vs. Aftermarket?
A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.
