Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the battery and ensure the engine is off and cool.
  2. For outboards, shift into forward gear to ease driveshaft alignment during reassembly.
  3. Drain the gearcase lubricant from the lower unit.
  4. Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the engine midsection.
  5. Carefully lower the gearcase to expose the water pump housing.
  6. Remove the water pump housing bolts and lift the housing to access the impeller.
  7. Remove the old impeller, gaskets, seals, and faceplate. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly.
  8. Install the new components from the kit in reverse order. Lightly lubricate the new impeller with mild soap or water.
  9. Ensure the impeller key is correctly seated and rotate the driveshaft clockwise while sliding the housing down to set the vanes correctly.
  10. Reassemble the lower unit, refill with fresh gear lube, and test the engine with a water supply.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this kit fits my engine?

The most reliable way is to match your engine's model, year, and serial number against the compatibility tables above. For Mercruiser, fitment is determined by the drive serial number (Alpha One Gen 2, S/N 0D469859+). For outboards, check your HP, year, and specific model details.

What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?

Common symptoms include a weak or no water stream from the "telltale" outlet, engine overheating alerts or running hotter than usual at idle or low speeds, and a melted or brittle impeller upon inspection. Reduced cooling can cause severe engine damage.

How often should the impeller be replaced?

As a preventative maintenance item, it is recommended to replace the impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, whichever comes first. Service intervals may be shorter for boats operated in saltwater or sandy/silty conditions.

Why are there extra or different-looking parts in the kit?

This kit is designed to cover a wide range of Mercury and Mercruiser models. It includes multiple coupling assemblies and tubes to ensure compatibility with different lower unit configurations. Use the parts that match your original equipment and discard the unused ones.

Is the face seal installation tool always included?

The kit includes two Water Pump Face Seal Tools (part 26-8M2014338) to assist with proper seal installation. However, kit contents from different suppliers can vary. Always verify the contents upon receipt.

What’s the difference between this kit and the OEM version?

This aftermarket kit is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications for fit, material quality, and performance. The primary differences are the brand name and price. It provides a reliable and cost-effective alternative to the OEM part.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?
