2. Access the Lower Unit: Shift the outboard into neutral. Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the upper leg.
3. Remove the Lower Unit: Carefully lower the gearcase to expose the driveshaft and water pump assembly.
4. Disassemble the Pump: Unbolt and remove the water pump housing. Take note of the position of all parts as you remove them.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my specific engine model?

A: The best way is to check the "Compatible Engine Models" table on this page. Match your engine's brand (Suzuki, Johnson/Evinrude), model, horsepower, and year range. Cross-referencing your existing part number with our "Part Number Cross-Reference" table is another reliable method.

Q: What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?

A: Common signs include a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, engine overheating alerts, and, in severe cases, steam from the exhaust. Reduced engine performance can also be a symptom.

Q: How often should the water pump impeller be replaced?

A: For optimal performance and to prevent overheating, most manufacturers recommend replacing the water pump impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation, whichever comes first. This interval can vary depending on usage conditions (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater).
