Installation Guide

1. Disconnect the fuel line and remove the engine cowling to access the lower unit. Ensure the engine is completely cool before proceeding.
2. Remove the lower unit by unscrewing the mounting bolts and carefully separating it from the mid-section. Take care not to damage the shift rod or water tube.
3. Locate the water pump housing on top of the lower unit gearcase. Remove the housing bolts and lift off the cover.
4. Extract the old impeller by gently pulling it straight out of the pump housing. Note the direction of the vanes for correct installation.
5. Inspect the pump housing and faceplate for wear, corrosion, or debris. Clean all surfaces thoroughly before reassembly.
6. Lubricate the new impeller with water pump grease or soapy water to ease installation. Insert the key/pin into the impeller hub slot.
7. Align the impeller vanes in the correct rotational direction (typically clockwise when viewed from above). Gently press the impeller into the housing.
8. Reinstall the faceplate and housing cover, ensuring all gaskets or O-rings are properly seated. Torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.
9. Reattach the lower unit to the mid-section, aligning the shift rod and water tube carefully. Secure all mounting bolts evenly.
10. Reconnect the fuel line and replace the engine cowling. Test-run the engine in a water tank or on-water to verify proper cooling flow.

Troubleshooting & FAQ
