Installation Guide

1. Close the raw water seacock to stop water flow to the engine.
2. Loosen the serpentine belt to relieve tension on the raw water pump pulley.
3. Remove the bolts securing the raw water pump cover plate.
4. Carefully pry off the cover. Be prepared for some residual water to spill out.
5. Note the rotational direction of the existing impeller's vanes before using pliers or an impeller puller to remove it.
6. Thoroughly clean the inside of the pump housing, removing any debris or old impeller fragments.
7. Lightly lubricate the new impeller and the inside of the housing with a water-based lubricant or dish soap.
8. Install the new impeller with a twisting motion, ensuring the vanes are bent in the correct direction for engine rotation.
9. Install the new housing O-ring and bolt O-rings into their respective grooves.
10. Reinstall the pump cover and tighten the bolts evenly in a star pattern to ensure a proper seal.
11. Re-tension the serpentine belt to the manufacturer's specification.
12. Open the raw water seacock, start the engine, and immediately check for leaks and confirm water is flowing from the exhaust.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this fits my engine?

A: This impeller kit is specifically for Crusader and PCM engines from approximately 2004 and newer that use a serpentine belt-driven raw water pump. The most reliable way to confirm fitment is to match your existing part number to one listed in our cross-reference table (RP061022, R061022, 18-8926, 9-45718). Visually comparing your old impeller's dimensions to ours—especially the 2-inch width—is also a good verification step.

Q: What are the signs of a failing impeller?

A: The most common signs are an engine temperature that is higher than normal, an overheating alarm, or a noticeable reduction in water flow from the exhaust outlet. Damaged or worn vanes cannot move water effectively, leading to poor cooling.

Q: How often should I replace this impeller?

A: For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to inspect your impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation, whichever comes first. If you frequently operate in sandy or silty water, more frequent replacement may be necessary.

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.

Q: How fast do you ship and how much does it cost?

A: We offer fast global shipping—typically 5–15 days worldwide—and standard shipping is free. Expedited options are available at checkout depending on your location.

Q: What is your warranty and return policy?

A: This product includes a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If something goes wrong, contact our support team with your order details.
