Installation Notes

  1. Before starting, disconnect the engine's battery and remove the negative terminal.
  2. Place the outboard motor in a secure, upright position and remove the lower unit (gearcase) by unbolting it from the engine leg.
  3. Locate and remove the bolts securing the water pump housing cover.
  4. Carefully lift the housing, noting the orientation of the old impeller's blades for reference.
  5. Remove the old impeller, woodruff key, and any gaskets or wear plates.
  6. Thoroughly clean the inside of the pump housing and all mating surfaces.
  7. Install the new wear plate and gaskets as required by your model.
  8. Slide the woodruff key into its slot on the driveshaft and apply a light coat of marine grease to the new impeller's interior.
  9. Install the new impeller by pushing down while turning the driveshaft clockwise to correctly bend the blades.
  10. Reinstall the water pump housing, tighten bolts to the manufacturer's torque specification, and reattach the lower unit.
  11. Reconnect the battery, supply cooling water to the engine, and briefly run it to confirm proper water circulation from the tell-tale outlet.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this impeller fits my specific engine model?

This impeller fits a wide range of Mercury, Mariner, and Force/Chrysler models. The best way to confirm fitment is to check your engine's model, horsepower, and serial number against the compatibility tables on this page. If your part number matches one listed in the Part Number Matrix, it is also compatible.

What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?

Common signs include a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, engine overheating alarms, and in severe cases, steam from the exhaust. A cracked, brittle, or worn-down impeller cannot pump water effectively to cool the engine.

How often should the water pump impeller be replaced?

As a general maintenance item, 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 frequently operate in sandy or silty water.

My engine is overheating, but the tell-tale stream looks fine. Could the impeller still be the cause?

Yes. While a weak tell-tale stream is a key indicator, a worn impeller might still produce a visible stream at idle but fail to provide sufficient water volume and pressure at higher RPMs, leading to overheating under load. Other causes could include a thermostat issue or blockages in the cooling passages.
