- Carefully lift the housing off, noting the position of the old impeller, key, gaskets, and wear plate.

- Install the new wear plate and gaskets. Lightly lubricate the inside of the housing and the new impeller with marine grease.
- Insert the impeller key into the driveshaft and slide the new impeller down over it, turning the shaft clockwise to seat the vanes correctly inside the housing.
- Reinstall the water pump housing and torque the bolts to the manufacturer's specified value.

- Once assembled, test the engine using a water supply (flushing attachment or test tank) to confirm water is pumping correctly from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this kit fits my engine?
This kit is for specific Mercury and Force outboards. For Mercury, it generally fits 13.5 HP to 25 HP models from 1984–2005. For Force, it fits 25 HP models from 1996–1998 with serial numbers E127700 to E344999. Always cross-reference your engine's OEM part number with the ones provided in our Part Number Matrix and check the detailed compatibility table.
What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Common signs include a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, engine overheating alarms, and a noticeable decrease in engine performance. A damaged impeller can also produce a faint rattling or grinding noise from the lower unit.
How often should I replace my water pump impeller?
As a general maintenance rule, it's recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, whichever comes first. This interval can be shorter if you frequently operate in sandy, silty, or saltwater conditions.
My 20 HP Mercury isn't listed, is it compatible?
Some sources suggest compatibility with 20 HP models, but our data is inconclusive. We have omitted it from the official list to prevent incorrect orders. Do not purchase this kit for a 20 HP model unless you can confirm your existing part is an exact match to OEM number 47-85089T7 or 47-85089Q4.
