Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the battery and ensure the engine ignition is off.
  2. Remove the lower unit (gearcase) from the outboard or sterndrive. You may need to disconnect the shift linkage.
  3. Unbolt and remove the water pump housing cover to expose the old impeller.
  4. Remove the old impeller, key, and any worn gaskets or seals from the housing and base plate.
  5. Clean the inside of the pump housing and base plate, inspecting for scoring or damage. Replace the housing if significant wear is found.
  6. Install the new gaskets, followed by the new impeller key on the driveshaft.
  7. Slide the new impeller onto the driveshaft, aligning the keyway. Rotate the driveshaft clockwise while pushing down to seat the impeller blades correctly inside the housing.
  8. Reinstall the water pump housing and torque its bolts to the manufacturer's specification.
  9. Reattach the lower unit to the engine, reconnecting the shift linkage and any other components.
  10. Once fully assembled, start the engine in water and verify that a steady stream of water is exiting the tell-tale outlet.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this impeller fits my specific engine?

The best way to confirm is by matching your engine's model, year, and serial number to the compatibility tables above. If you are unsure, visually compare your old impeller's dimensions and blade count to the specifications listed here before purchasing.

What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?

Common signs include a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, an engine overheating alarm, or a noticeable decrease in engine performance. A dry, cracked, or brittle impeller upon inspection is a clear indicator that it needs replacement.

How often should I replace my impeller?

As a preventative maintenance measure, most marine mechanics recommend replacing the water pump impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, whichever comes first. This interval can be shorter if you frequently operate in sandy, silty, or saltwater conditions.

Can I run the engine dry after installing the new impeller?

No. Never run the engine without water, even for a few seconds. The water pump impeller is lubricated by water, and running it dry will cause immediate damage to the neoprene rubber, leading to premature failure.

Is this part different from the OEM version?

This is an aftermarket part designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications. It offers the same fit, form, and function as the original manufacturer's part but at a more competitive price point.
