Installation Notes
- Disconnect the battery and remove the engine cowling.
- Shift the outboard into neutral. Drain the gearcase oil into a suitable container.
- Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the engine's midsection and carefully lower it.
- Unbolt and remove the old water pump housing assembly located on top of the gearcase.
- Clean the mounting surfaces and drive shaft. Note the orientation of the old impeller vanes upon removal.
- Install the new components from the kit in reverse order. Lightly grease the new impeller and insert it while turning the drive shaft clockwise.
- Ensure all gaskets, seals, and o-rings are seated correctly. Torque housing bolts to manufacturer specifications.
- Reinstall the lower unit, top up the gearcase oil with the correct grade, and re-fasten all bolts.
- Once assembled, start the engine in water and confirm a steady "telltale" stream of water is exiting the engine.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this kit fits my engine?
The best way to confirm fitment is to check your engine's model number and year against the compatibility table provided on this page. While this kit fits a wide range of Johnson and Evinrude motors, confirming your specific model is essential.
What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Common symptoms include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or non-existent water stream from the "telltale" outlet, and in some cases, a melted pump housing due to excessive heat.
How often should I replace my outboard's impeller?
As a general maintenance rule, it is recommended to inspect and/or replace the water pump impeller every 1 to 2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, whichever comes first. This interval can be shorter if you frequently operate in sandy or silty water.
Does this kit fit 65 HP and 70 HP models?
While some sources reference compatibility with 65 and 70 HP models, our data does not include specific model and year ranges for this horsepower class. We recommend verifying the OEM part number for your specific engine before purchasing.
Why are there two different colored wedge keys included?
The black and white wedge keys are included to fit different variations of the driveshaft across the wide range of supported engine models. You will only use the key that matches the one you are replacing.
OEM vs. 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.
