Installation Guide

1. Disconnect the fuel line and remove the engine cowling to access the lower unit. Position the engine upright on a stable work surface.
2. Drain the lower unit gear oil by removing the drain and vent screws. Disconnect the water hose connections if present.
3. Remove the lower unit by loosening the mounting bolts and gently separating it from the mid-section. Keep all fasteners organized for reassembly.
4. Locate the water pump housing on top of the lower unit gearcase. Remove the bolts securing the pump housing cover.
5. Extract the old impeller carefully, noting the direction of the blade curvature. Clean the pump housing thoroughly, removing any debris or old gasket material.
6. Lubricate the new impeller blades with water pump grease or glycerin to ease installation and prevent initial dry-running damage.
7. Insert the key/pin into the drive shaft slot as specified by your engine's design. Ensure it is properly seated.
8. Install the new impeller onto the drive shaft, rotating it in the correct direction while gently pressing down. The blades should curve in the direction of rotation.
9. Replace the pump housing and gaskets with new components if worn. Torque the housing bolts to manufacturer specifications in a cross pattern.
10. Reattach the lower unit to the mid-section, ensuring the drive shaft engages properly. Secure all mounting bolts to the specified torque.
11. Refill the lower unit with fresh gear oil through the lower drain hole until it flows from the upper vent. Install both plugs securely.
12. Test the cooling system by running the engine in a test tank or on muffs. Verify strong water flow from the indicator hole within 30 seconds of startup.
