Installation Guide
Follow these general steps to replace your water pump impeller. Always consult your engine's service manual for detailed instructions.
-
Safety First: Disconnect the battery and remove the spark plug wires.
-
Access the Pump: Shift the outboard into neutral and remove the lower unit (gearcase) from the engine leg.
-
Remove Housing: Unbolt and carefully lift the water pump housing. Take note of how the old impeller's vanes are bent.
-
Remove Old Parts: Slide the old impeller off the driveshaft. Remove the old drive key and gasket, ensuring the mating surfaces are clean.
-
Install New Gasket: Place the new gasket onto the base of the pump.
-
Install New Impeller: Insert the new drive key into its slot on the driveshaft. Slide the new impeller on, twisting it clockwise to bend the vanes correctly as you lower the housing over it.
-
Reassemble: Bolt the pump housing back down to the specified torque.
-
Reattach Lower Unit: Reinstall the lower unit, ensuring the driveshaft, shift shaft, and water tube are correctly aligned.
-
Test Operation: Reconnect the battery and start the engine in a suitable water supply (using flush muffs or in the water). Confirm a steady water stream from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this fits my engine?
A: This impeller is specifically for Johnson/Evinrude 5.5 HP & 6 HP (1954–1979) and 7.5 HP (1954–1958) outboards that use a metal pump housing. The best way to ensure compatibility is to cross-reference your engine's original part number with the numbers we provide (e.g., 763735, 387361).
Q: What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
A: Key indicators include a weak or nonexistent water stream from the engine's tell-tale outlet, engine overheating alarms, or a melted water pump housing. Upon inspection, a bad impeller may have cracked, brittle, or missing vanes.
Q: How often should I replace the impeller?
A: For preventative maintenance, we recommend replacing the impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation. Frequent use in sandy or silty water may require more frequent inspections and replacements.

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.
