Installation Guide
- Disconnect the fuel line and remove the lower unit from the outboard motor following your engine's service manual.
- Remove the water pump housing by unscrewing the retaining bolts. Take note of the orientation of the old impeller.
- Carefully extract the old impeller from the pump housing; inspect the housing for debris or damage.
- Clean the pump housing thoroughly with a mild solvent and dry completely.
- Apply a thin coat of water-resistant grease to the impeller blades and inner housing surface.
- Insert the key/pin into the impeller shaft slot, ensuring it is seated properly.
- Rotate the impeller blades in the direction of pump rotation and carefully slide it into the housing. All blades should flex in the same rotational direction.
- Reinstall the water pump housing and tighten bolts to the manufacturer's torque specifications.
- Reattach the lower unit to the motor, aligning the drive shaft and water tube.
- Reconnect the fuel line and perform a water pump flow test before launching. Check for leaks and consistent water stream from the telltale.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this impeller fits my engine?
A: Cross-reference your engine model and year in the compatibility table above. Also verify that your original impeller matches OEM part number 432941 or the cross-reference numbers (Sierra 18-3104, CEF 500372, Mallory 9-45204).
Q: How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
A: Most manufacturers recommend replacing the impeller every 2-3 years or 200-300 hours of operation, whichever comes first. If you notice reduced cooling performance or irregular water flow from the telltale, inspect and replace immediately.
Q: What are the common signs of a failing impeller?
A: Warning signs include weak or no water discharge from the telltale port, engine overheating, steam from the exhaust, or loss of power. Impellers can crack, lose blades, or become brittle over time.
Q: Can I run the engine out of water to test the impeller?
A: No. Running an outboard without water—even for a few seconds—can damage the impeller and overheat the engine. Always use a flushing adapter or test tank with water when testing.

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.
