Installation Notes
- Turn off the engine, allow it to cool, and disconnect the battery. Close the raw water intake seacock.
- Place a catch pan or absorbent towels under the pump to manage any spilled coolant.
- Unscrew the pump's faceplate bolts and remove the faceplate.
- Use impeller pulling pliers or two flathead screwdrivers to carefully pry the old impeller out of the housing.
- Clean any debris or old gasket material from the pump housing and faceplate. Inspect for scoring or deep scratches.
- Lubricate the inside of the pump housing and the new impeller with a water-based marine lubricant or dish soap.
- Insert the new impeller by pinching the vanes together and rotating it into the housing. The blades should bend in the direction of the pump's rotation.
- Install the new gasket or O-ring onto the faceplate.
- Reinstall the faceplate and tighten the screws in a star pattern to ensure an even seal. Do not overtighten.
- Open the seacock and reconnect the battery. Start the engine and immediately check the pump for leaks.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this impeller fits my pump?
This kit is a direct replacement for Sherwood 17000K. The most reliable method is to cross-reference your existing part number with the list in the "Part Number Matrix" section. It's also compatible with specific Caterpillar engines and Sherwood pumps listed under "Engine & Model Compatibility." Always verify your old impeller’s dimensions against our technical specs before ordering.
How often should a neoprene impeller be replaced?
For optimal performance and to prevent engine overheating, we recommend inspecting the impeller annually and replacing it every 1-2 years. Replacement may be needed more frequently if the vessel operates in saltwater or water with high amounts of sand or silt.
What are the signs of a failing impeller?
Common signs include reduced water flow from the exhaust, engine temperatures rising above normal, visible cracks or missing vanes on the impeller, and a stiff or brittle texture. If you notice a chunk of a vane is missing, it is crucial to find and remove it from the cooling system to prevent blockage. Immediate replacement is needed if any of these signs are observed.
Is a gasket included with this impeller kit?
Yes, the kit includes the flexible impeller and the necessary O-ring or paper gasket for a standard installation. The specific seal type varies by the pump brand it is designed to replace.
OEM vs. Aftermarket?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It is built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Our parts are manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility and are batch-inspected for quality and consistency.
