Installation Notes
- Disconnect the battery and remove the engine kill switch safety lanyard.
- Place the outboard or sterndrive in forward gear to simplify driveshaft alignment during reassembly.
- Position a drain pan under the lower unit and remove the gearcase oil drain/fill screws to drain the lubricant.
- Unbolt and carefully separate the lower unit (gearcase) from the upper housing. You may need to disconnect the speedometer tube if equipped.
- Remove the bolts securing the water pump housing to the gearcase.
- Slide the old water pump assembly up and off the driveshaft. Note the orientation of all parts.
- Remove the old impeller, key, gaskets, and wear plate, and clean all mounting surfaces thoroughly.
- Install the new gaskets, wear plate, impeller, and key from the kit. Ensure the impeller vanes are oriented correctly (typically by turning the driveshaft clockwise while pushing the housing down).
- Install the new housing and seals. Torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.
- Re-install the lower unit, ensuring the driveshaft, shift shaft, and water tube align correctly.
- Refill the gearcase with fresh marine gear lubricant from the bottom fill hole until it seeps from the top vent hole.
- Start the engine in water and confirm a steady stream of water is exiting the cooling system tell-tale outlet. Check for leaks.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this kit fits my engine?
The most reliable method is to match your engine's serial number against the ranges listed in the compatibility table. This kit fits MerCruiser Alpha One Gen 2 drives with serial #0D469859 and up, and various Mercury outboards where the model and serial number ranges align with the chart.
What are signs of a failing impeller?
Common symptoms of a worn or damaged impeller include the engine running hotter than normal, an alarm sounding, a weak or non-existent stream of water from the "telltale" outlet, and visible cracks or brittleness on the old impeller vanes upon inspection.
How often should I replace my water pump impeller?
As a crucial part of preventative maintenance, it is best practice to replace the impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation, whichever comes first. This helps prevent sudden failure and catastrophic engine damage from overheating.

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It is built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. All parts are manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility and are batch-inspected for quality and consistency.
