Installation Notes
- Disconnect the negative battery cable and remove the propeller for safety.
- Drain the gearcase lube by removing the upper and lower drain screws.
- Unbolt and carefully lower the gearcase (lower unit) from the outboard's midsection.
- Remove the bolts securing the water pump housing to the gearcase.
- Slide the housing up and off the driveshaft, then remove the old impeller, wear plate, and gaskets.
- Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces of the gearcase and the inside of the pump housing.
- Install the new gaskets, wear plate, and impeller. Turn the driveshaft clockwise while pushing the impeller down to seat the vanes correctly.
- Reinstall the water pump housing and torque the bolts to the manufacturer's specified value.
- Apply a light coating of marine grease to the driveshaft splines and reinstall the lower unit.
- Refill the gearcase with the correct type and amount of marine gear lube.
- Reinstall the propeller and reconnect the battery.
- Start the engine using a water source (flushing muffs or in the water) and confirm a steady stream of water from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
This kit fits most Mercury/Mariner 15-25 HP (1983–2006) and Force 18-25 HP 2-stroke outboards. The most reliable way to confirm fitment is to match your engine's original part number to the cross-references provided: Mercury 47-85089T7, 47-85089Q4, or Sierra 18-3215.
What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Key symptoms include a weak or intermittent water stream from the "telltale" port, engine overheating alarms, steam from the exhaust, or a melted water pump housing. Reduced engine performance can also be an indicator.
How often should I replace the impeller?
As a rule of thumb, replace the impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation. More frequent replacement is recommended if you operate in sandy, silty, or saltwater environments.
Can I replace just the impeller instead of the whole kit?
While possible, it is highly recommended to replace all components in the kit (gaskets, seals, wear plate) at the same time. These parts wear together, and replacing only the impeller can lead to premature failure and poor sealing.
Is this kit difficult to install?
Installation is a common maintenance task for those with mechanical experience and the proper tools. It involves removing the lower unit. If you are not comfortable performing this service, professional installation is recommended.
