Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the battery and shift the outboard into neutral.
  2. Remove the lower unit (gearcase) by unbolting it from the engine's midsection.
  3. Unbolt and remove the old water pump housing assembly.
  4. Carefully note the orientation of the old parts, then remove the old impeller, key, gaskets, and plate.
  5. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly, ensuring no old gasket material remains.
  6. Install the new face plate, gaskets, and seals. Place the new key on the driveshaft.
  7. Apply a lubricant (like glycerin or dish soap) to the inside of the new housing and slide the new impeller into it while turning the driveshaft clockwise to bend the vanes correctly.
  8. Secure the new housing assembly with the provided bolts, tightening them to the manufacturer's specified torque.
  9. Reinstall the lower unit, ensuring the driveshaft, shift shaft, and water tube align correctly.
  10. Once assembled, start the engine in water and verify a strong, steady stream from the tell-tale outlet.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this kit fits my specific Mercury engine?

This kit is for 9.9-20 HP four-stroke models (2020 and newer). The most important check is your engine's serial number. It must be 0R833820 or higher. If your serial number is lower, this kit will not fit.

What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?

Common signs include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or intermittent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, and in severe cases, a steam or high-temperature alarm from your console.

How often should I replace my outboard's impeller?

As a general maintenance guideline, we recommend replacing the impeller every 1 to 2 years, or every 100 to 200 hours of operation. This interval may be shorter if you frequently operate in sandy, silty, or saltwater conditions.

Is any special lubricant needed for installation?

Yes, applying a lubricant to the impeller and inside the housing makes installation easier and prevents damage to the impeller on the first dry start. We recommend marine-grade glycerin, silicone grease, or even simple dish soap. Do not use petroleum-based grease.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.

Shipping speed & cost

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

Warranty & returns

Safety & Important Info

  • Verify images/specifications vs your original part. If anything differs—even if your model appears compatible—do not purchase.
