Installation Notes
- Disconnect the battery and remove the engine cover.
- Drain the gearcase oil from the lower unit.
- Unbolt and carefully remove the lower unit (gearcase) from the outboard's midsection.
- Remove the bolts securing the old water pump housing.
- Slide the old housing, impeller, and wear plate off the driveshaft. Note the component order.
- Thoroughly clean the driveshaft and mating surfaces, removing any old gasket material or sealant.
- Install the new lower gasket, wear plate, and impeller key on the driveshaft.
- Slide the new impeller onto the driveshaft, rotating it clockwise to seat the blades correctly.
- Align and install the new pump housing and cup assembly, securing it with the provided bolts. Torque to manufacturer specifications.
- Reinstall the lower unit, ensuring the driveshaft, shift shaft, and water tube are properly aligned.
- Refill the gearcase with fresh marine gear lube.
- With the motor in water or connected to a flusher, start the engine and verify a steady stream of water from the tell-tale port.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this kit will fit my specific outboard model?
This kit is designed for Johnson/Evinrude V4 & V6 hydraulic shift outboards from 1976–1978. The best way to ensure compatibility is to check your engine's model and year against the detailed list in the "Engine & Model Compatibility" table above.
What are the common signs that my water pump is failing?
The most common symptoms include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, or an audible alarm from the engine's warning system. Reduced performance can also be an indicator.
How often should I replace my water pump impeller?
As a preventative maintenance measure, it is recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1 to 2 years (or every 100-200 hours of use), regardless of visible wear. Operating in saltwater or sandy/silty conditions may require more frequent replacement.
Why is this a full kit with housing, not just an impeller?
This is a complete rebuild kit. Over time, the pump housing and wear plate can become scored or warped from debris and heat, reducing pump efficiency even with a new impeller. Replacing the entire assembly ensures all components are fresh, restoring the pump to factory performance and creating a reliable, long-lasting seal.
What does "half-moon impeller key" mean?
The impeller key is a small metal piece that locks the impeller to the driveshaft, forcing it to spin with the shaft. A "half-moon" or Woodruff key is a specific semi-circular shape. This kit includes the correct key type for the specified engine models.
Is any special grease or sealant needed for installation?
Yes, it's highly recommended to use a marine-grade waterproof grease on the impeller and inside the pump housing to provide initial lubrication upon startup and ease installation. A light coating of gasket sealant on the gaskets can also ensure a perfect seal.
