- Remove the old impeller, gaskets, and wear plate, cleaning any debris or corrosion from the housing surfaces.
- Install the new wear plate and gaskets.
- Slide the new impeller onto the driveshaft, turning the shaft clockwise to bend the vanes correctly. Ensure the keyway is aligned.
- Reinstall the water pump housing and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.
- Re-install the lower unit/sterndrive with new gaskets where required.
- Reconnect the battery and test the engine's cooling system at the boat ramp, ensuring a steady stream of water from the tell-tale port.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this kit fits my specific engine?
The best way is to match your engine's model, serial number, and year to the compatibility tables provided. For MerCruiser Alpha One Gen 2 drives, the serial number is the key identifier (0D469859 and above). For outboards, check both the model/HP and any serial number breaks noted in the list.
What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Common symptoms include a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, engine overheating alarms, and in severe cases, steam from the exhaust. Reduced cooling performance can cause catastrophic engine damage if ignored.
How often should I replace the impeller?
As a general maintenance rule, it's recommended to replace the impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, whichever comes first. Usage in saltwater or sandy/murky conditions may require more frequent replacement.
Why is my engine overheating after installing the new impeller?
Possible causes include: incorrect installation (e.g., impeller vanes bent in the wrong direction), a blockage in the cooling water passages, a faulty thermostat, or a worn-out pump housing that was not replaced. Always ensure the impeller key is properly installed to lock the impeller to the driveshaft.
Can I just replace the rubber impeller and not the whole kit?
It is strongly recommended to replace the full kit, including the wear plate and gaskets. The plate can become scored over time, and old gaskets can become brittle, leading to leaks and reduced pump efficiency even with a new impeller.
