  4. Carefully lower the gearcase, disconnecting the shift shaft if necessary.
  5. Locate and unbolt the water pump housing.
  6. Remove the old impeller, plate, and gaskets. Note their orientation.
  7. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly, removing any old gasket material or corrosion.
  8. Install the new gasket, wear plate, and woodruff key on the driveshaft.
  9. Slide the new impeller onto the driveshaft, turning the shaft clockwise to bend the vanes correctly.
  10. Install the new housing and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.
  11. Reassemble the lower unit to the engine leg, ensuring the driveshaft, shift shaft, and water tube are correctly aligned.
  12. Refill the gear lube, reinstall the propeller, and test run the engine with a water supply, checking for proper water output.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if my water pump impeller needs replacing?

Common signs of a failing impeller include a weak or inconsistent water stream from the "telltale" outlet, engine overheating alarms, or a visible decrease in water pressure. It is recommended to replace the impeller as part of regular maintenance every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, regardless of visible wear.

Will this kit fit my specific year and model?

This kit is designed for Mercury, Tohatsu, and Nissan 4-6HP 4-stroke outboards. While year ranges are broad, it is critical to verify your engine's part number against the provided Part Number Matrix. If you are unsure, consult your owner's manual or a qualified marine mechanic.

What is the most common installation mistake?

The most frequent error is installing the impeller with the vanes bent in the wrong direction. Always turn the driveshaft clockwise while pushing the impeller down into the housing to ensure the vanes curve correctly against the direction of rotation. Installing it backwards will result in poor performance and rapid failure.

Is any special grease needed during installation?

Yes, it's highly recommended to use a light coat of marine-grade grease or a soapy water solution on the inside of the pump housing and on the impeller vanes. This provides lubrication during the initial dry startup before water reaches the pump, preventing damage.

The new impeller seems slightly larger than the old one. Is this normal?

Yes, a new impeller may appear slightly larger or stiffer than a worn one. The old impeller can shrink, deform, and harden over time. The new impeller is designed for a snug fit inside the housing to create proper pressure. As long as it matches the cross-reference part number, it should fit correctly.

What happens if I don't replace the whole kit and just the impeller?

While you can sometimes replace only the impeller, it is not recommended. The wear plate and housing can develop grooves and scoring over time, which will reduce water pressure and prematurely wear out a new impeller. Using the full kit ensures all sealing surfaces are fresh for optimal, long-lasting performance.
