- Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) and carefully lower it from the engine.
- Locate and unbolt the water pump housing, which sits atop the gearcase.
- Remove the old housing, impeller, wear plate, and any gasket remnants.
- Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces to ensure they are free of old gasket material and corrosion.
- Install the new wear plate and gasket onto the gearcase.
- Slide the new impeller onto the driveshaft and into the new housing, turning the driveshaft clockwise to seat the impeller vanes correctly.
- Lightly lubricate the interior of the housing with marine grease.
- Position the new housing assembly and tighten the bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque.
- Carefully reinstall the lower unit, ensuring the driveshaft, water tube, and shift shaft are properly aligned.
- Once secured, reconnect the battery and test the engine in water, confirming a steady water stream from the cooling system's tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if my water pump is failing?
Common signs include an engine overheating alarm, a weak or non-existent stream of water from the tell-tale outlet, and discovering a cracked, brittle, or worn impeller during inspection.
What is the recommended replacement interval for this kit?
For optimal engine protection and to prevent overheating, boat owners should inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1 to 2 years (or every 100-200 hours of use), whichever comes first. Frequency should increase in silty or saltwater environments.
Will this fit a 4-stroke engine model?
No, this particular water pump kit is engineered specifically for the 2-stroke Mercury, Mariner, and Force outboard models listed in the compatibility table. It is not compatible with 4-stroke engines.
Does this kit include the outer housing?
Yes, this is a complete water pump rebuild kit that includes the pump housing, neoprene impeller, wear plate, and the required gasket for a full replacement.
