Installation Notes

  1. Ensure the engine is off, in neutral, and the battery is disconnected.
  2. Remove the lower unit (gearcase) from the outboard's midsection by unbolting it.
  3. Unbolt and remove the water pump housing cover to access the impeller.
  4. Take note of the old impeller's vane direction before removing it and the key.
  5. Clean any debris or corrosion from the housing interior and wear plate.
  6. Install the new key and slide the new impeller into place, twisting it clockwise to seat the vanes correctly.
  7. Replace the gaskets and reassemble the pump housing, ensuring bolts are torqued to spec.
  8. Replace the thermostat and its gasket in the engine block.
  9. Reinstall the lower unit, reconnect the battery, and test operation in water, confirming a steady stream from the tell-tale.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this kit fits my motor?

Verify your engine's brand (Mercury/Mariner/Tohatsu), horsepower (8-9.9 HP), and year (2018+ for Mercury). For Mercury motors, you must also confirm your serial number is 0R042475 or higher. Cross-referencing the OEM part numbers listed in the "Part Number Matrix" is the most reliable method.

What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?

Common symptoms include a weak or non-existent water stream from the engine's tell-tale (water outlet), engine overheating alarms, and reduced engine performance. Visible damage to the old impeller, such as cracked, brittle, or missing vanes, also indicates failure.

How often should the water pump impeller be replaced?

As a general maintenance rule, it is recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation, whichever comes first. This interval can be shorter if you operate in sandy, silty, or saltwater conditions.

My engine still overheats after installing the new kit. What's next?

This kit includes a new thermostat, which is a common cause of overheating. If the problem persists, check for blockages in the cooling water passages, intake screens, or the tell-tale outlet. A faulty temperature sensor or gauge could also be the culprit.

Why does this kit include a fuel filter and thermostat?

This is a comprehensive maintenance kit. The thermostat is a critical part of the cooling system, and the fuel filter is a key preventative maintenance item often replaced at the same service interval as the water pump to ensure engine reliability.

Is this an OEM part or aftermarket?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It is built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials and manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, with batch inspections for consistency.

What are the shipping speed and cost?

We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit is 5–15 days. Standard shipping is free, and expedited options will appear at checkout where available.

Returns are accepted within our standard window for items that are unused and in their original condition. See our policy page or reach out for instructions.
