  2. Locate the water pump housing on the gearcase. Remove the bolts securing the housing cover.
  3. Carefully note the rotational direction of the old impeller vanes before removal. Pry or pull the old impeller off the drive shaft.
  4. Clean any debris, corrosion, or old gasket material from the housing, wear plate, and cover.
  5. Lightly lubricate the new impeller and the inside of the pump housing with a marine-safe lubricant.
  6. Slide the new impeller onto the drive shaft, turning the shaft in its normal rotational direction to bend the vanes correctly.
  7. Align and install the new gasket and housing cover, then tighten the bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque.
  8. Reinstall the gearcase, ensuring the drive shaft, shifter shaft, and water tube are properly aligned. Secure all bolts and reconnect linkages.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this impeller fits my specific engine?

The best way is to check the compatibility tables on this page. Match your engine's brand, model, horsepower, year, and most importantly, serial number. If your serial number falls within one of the listed ranges, this impeller is a confirmed fit.

What are common signs of a failed or worn-out water pump impeller?

Key symptoms include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or non-existent "tell-tale" stream of water from the outlet, or finding brittle, cracked, or broken rubber vanes during inspection. A damaged impeller cannot pump enough water to cool the engine properly.

How often should a water pump impeller be replaced?

As a general rule, it's recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years, or every 100-200 hours of use, whichever comes first. Usage in saltwater or sandy/silty conditions may require more frequent replacement.

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.
