Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the spark plug leads and shift the outboard into neutral.
  2. Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the engine leg and carefully lower it.
  3. Unbolt and remove the water pump housing to expose the old impeller.
  4. Take note of the old impeller's blade direction, then remove the impeller, gasket, and wear plate.
  5. Clean all surfaces of the housing and base, removing any old gasket material or debris.
  6. Install the new wear plate and gasket.
  7. Apply a light coat of marine-safe lubricant (e.g., silicone grease, glycerine) to the new impeller and inside the pump housing.
  8. Install the new key into the driveshaft and slide the new impeller on, turning the driveshaft clockwise to seat the blades correctly.
  9. Reinstall the pump housing, tighten bolts to the specified torque, and reattach the lower unit.
  10. Test the engine in water to ensure the pump is functioning and water is exiting the tell-tale port.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this kit fits my motor?

Check your engine model, horsepower, and year against the compatibility table. For certainty, visually compare our product photos with your existing part before ordering to ensure all components match.

What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?

Common indicators include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, and, upon inspection, an impeller with brittle, cracked, or melted blades.

How often should I replace the impeller?

For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to inspect and/or replace the impeller every 1–2 years or every 100–200 hours of use. Frequency depends on operating conditions, especially in saltwater or sandy/silty environments.

What lubricant should I use during installation?

Apply a light coat of a marine-grade lubricant like silicone grease, glycerine, or even dish soap to the impeller and housing. This prevents damage to the impeller during the first few seconds of operation before water circulates.
