Installation Guide
-
Safety First: Disconnect the engine's battery and ensure the engine is securely mounted before starting.
-
Access the Pump: Remove the lower unit (gearcase) from the outboard's driveshaft housing. This typically involves removing several bolts.
-
Remove Old Pump: Unscrew the bolts holding the water pump housing in place and slide the entire assembly off the driveshaft.
-
Clean Surfaces: Thoroughly clean the area, removing any old gasket material or debris from the driveshaft and mating surfaces.
-
Install New Components: Slide the new gasket and face plate onto the driveshaft. Install the new impeller, making sure to orient the vanes correctly (typically clockwise when viewed from above).
-
Secure New Housing: Place the new housing over the impeller and press down while turning the driveshaft to seat the impeller. Secure it with the provided bolts and tighten to the manufacturer's torque specifications.
-
Reassemble: Reinstall the lower unit, ensuring the driveshaft, shift shaft, and water tube are properly aligned. Test the engine using a water source (flusher or test tank) to confirm proper water flow from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
A: This kit fits specific Mercury and Mariner models. The most important step is to check your engine's serial number against the ranges listed in the compatibility table. For 9.9 HP and 15 HP BigFoot models, the serial number is the best indicator of fitment.
Q: What are the signs that my water pump is failing?
A: Common symptoms include the engine overheating, a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, or a brittle/cracked impeller found during routine inspection. Timely replacement prevents engine damage.
Q: How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
A: For optimal performance and engine protection, it is recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, depending on operating conditions (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater use).
