Troubleshooting & FAQ
How can I confirm this kit fits my engine?
Verify your engine model and year range are listed in the "Engine & Model Compatibility" table. For the best match, cross-reference the part number from your existing water pump with the numbers in our "Part Number Matrix".
What are the signs of a failing water pump?
Common symptoms include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or non-existent stream of water from the tell-tale outlet, and visible damage like cracks, brittleness, or missing vanes on the old impeller upon inspection.
How often should the water pump kit be replaced?
For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to replace the water pump impeller and gaskets every 1 to 2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Service intervals should be shorter if you operate frequently in saltwater or sandy/silty conditions.
Is this a difficult installation?
This procedure requires removal of the sterndrive, which involves moderate to advanced mechanical skill. If you are not experienced with sterndrive service, we strongly recommend professional installation to ensure correct assembly and function.
