Installation Guide

1. Disconnect the fuel line and remove the engine cowling to access the lower unit. Ensure the engine is completely cool before beginning work.
2. Remove the water pump housing bolts and carefully lift off the housing. Take note of the orientation of the old impeller.
3. Extract the old impeller using pliers or an impeller removal tool, being careful not to damage the pump housing. Remove any debris or old gasket material from the housing.
4. Inspect the pump housing and wear plate for scoring, corrosion, or damage. Replace these components if necessary.
5. Lubricate the new impeller blades with glycerin, dish soap, or water pump grease (never use petroleum-based grease). Do not use motor oil.
6. Insert the key/pin into the drive shaft slot before installing the impeller. Ensure it is properly seated.
7. Carefully install the new impeller into the housing, ensuring the blades are oriented in the correct rotation direction. Rotate the drive shaft clockwise while gently pressing down.
8. Replace the wear plate and any gaskets or O-rings with new components included in your water pump rebuild kit (if applicable).
9. Reinstall the water pump housing, ensuring all alignment marks are matched. Tighten bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque in a crisscross pattern.
10. Reattach the lower unit to the engine, ensuring the drive shaft engages properly with the impeller.
11. Reconnect the fuel line and reinstall the engine cowling. Check all fasteners for proper tightness.
12. Test the engine in a water tank or on the water, confirming strong water flow from the telltale port within 10-15 seconds of starting.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this impeller fits my Suzuki engine?
A: Verify your engine model and year against the compatibility table above. Cross-reference the OEM part number (17461-93901, 17461-93902, or 17461-93903) stamped on your original impeller or found in your engine's parts diagram.

Q: How often should I replace my 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 water flow, overheating, or visible cracking/missing blades, replace it immediately.

Q: What are the signs of a failing impeller?
A: Common symptoms include weak or no water discharge from the telltale port, engine overheating, steam from the exhaust, reduced performance, and alarm activation. Inspect the impeller regularly for cracks, missing blades, or hardening.

Q: Can I install this impeller myself, or do I need a mechanic?
A: If you have basic mechanical skills and the right tools, you can replace the impeller yourself following the installation guide. However, if you're unfamiliar with outboard maintenance, professional installation is recommended to avoid damage.

Q: Why is the key/pin included, and is it necessary?
A: The key (or pin) locks the impeller onto the drive shaft, ensuring it rotates with the shaft. It is essential for proper operation; without it, the impeller will not turn and your engine will overheat.
