Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the battery and shift the outboard into neutral.

  4. Clean the mounting surface and driveshaft spline area thoroughly, removing any old gasket material or debris.
  5. Slide the new water pump housing assembly down the driveshaft, ensuring the impeller key is aligned.
  6. Fasten the new housing with the provided hardware, tightening bolts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification.
  7. Reinstall the lower unit, ensuring the driveshaft and shift shaft align correctly.
  8. Reconnect the battery and test the engine with a water supply to verify proper pump operation.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this kit is correct for my engine?

This kit is designed for specific Mercury, Mariner, and Force models. The most reliable way to confirm fitment is by checking your engine's serial number against the ranges listed in the compatibility table. Do not rely on HP or year alone.

What are the signs of a failing water pump?

Common symptoms include a weak or non-existent water stream from the "telltale" outlet, engine overheating alarms, and in severe cases, steam from the exhaust. Reduced cooling performance can cause significant engine damage if ignored.

How often should the water pump assembly be replaced?

As a general maintenance guideline, the entire water pump assembly, including the impeller and housing, should be inspected annually and replaced every 2-3 years or 200-300 hours of use, whichever comes first. This interval can be shorter if you operate frequently in sandy or silty water.

Is this the complete water pump kit or just the upper housing?

This kit contains the upper water pump housing assembly as pictured. It is not a complete kit with an impeller, gaskets, and wear plates, which may need to be sourced separately depending on your repair needs.

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.
