Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the engine's battery and shift the outboard into neutral.
  2. Remove the lower unit (gearcase) bolts and carefully lower the unit to access the water pump.
  3. Unbolt and remove the water pump housing cover. Note the rotational direction of the old impeller's blades.
  4. Remove the old impeller, key, and gaskets. Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces.
  5. Install the new gasket and insert the drive key. Slide the new impeller on, turning it in the correct rotational direction to fold the blades properly.
  6. Re-install the water pump housing and tighten bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque.
  7. Re-attach the lower unit to the engine, ensuring the water tube and driveshaft are aligned correctly.
  8. Once fully assembled, test the engine in water to confirm a strong and steady stream from the tell-tale outlet.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this impeller fits my engine?

First, check the Engine & Model Compatibility table to ensure your Johnson/Evinrude model, horsepower, and year range are listed. Second, cross-reference your existing part number with the equivalents in the Part Number Matrix. If both match, it should fit.

What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?

The most common signs of a worn or damaged impeller are a weak or non-existent water stream from the engine's "telltale" indicator, an engine overheating alarm, or steam from the exhaust. Reduced cooling performance can cause severe engine damage.

How often should I replace my impeller?

For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to replace your impeller every 1 to 2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, whichever comes first. This schedule applies even if the impeller appears to be in good condition.

Is this an OEM part or aftermarket?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.

How fast is shipping and what does it cost?

We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit 5–15 days. Standard shipping is free; expedited options appear at checkout where available.

What is the warranty and return policy?
