Installation Guide

  1. Safety First: Disconnect the battery and spark plug wires to prevent accidental starting.
  2. Access the Lower Unit: Drain the gearcase oil. Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the upper engine housing and carefully lower it.
  3. Disassemble the Water Pump: Unbolt and remove the water pump housing. Take note of the order of all components (seals, gaskets, impeller, keyway).
  4. Inspect and Clean: Clean all surfaces where gaskets will sit. Inspect the housing and wear plate for scoring, warping, or corrosion.
  5. Install New Components: Lightly grease the new gaskets and seals. Slide the new impeller into the housing while turning the driveshaft clockwise to bend the vanes correctly.
  6. Reassemble: Reinstall the pump housing, ensuring all parts are aligned. Torque the bolts to the manufacturer's specification.
  7. Reattach Lower Unit: Guide the lower unit back into place, ensuring the driveshaft, shift shaft, and water tube align. Securely tighten the mounting bolts.
  8. Final Checks: Refill the gearcase with fresh oil. Reconnect the spark plug wires and battery. Test the engine in water, ensuring a steady stream of water from the tell-tale port.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my specific engine?

A: The most reliable method is to match your engine's serial number to the ranges listed in the compatibility tables. This kit is for standard gearcases only and will not fit "Bigfoot" models. If unsure, check your current part numbers against our cross-reference list.

Q: What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?

A: Common signs include the engine overheating, a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet port, and a melted or brittle appearance of the old impeller's rubber vanes upon inspection.

Q: How often should the water pump impeller be replaced?

A: For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to inspect and/or replace the impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, depending on operating conditions (especially in saltwater or sandy/silty water).

A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.

Not impressed
Not impressed; doesn’t look as good as in the photos. Also, the one I received it not level? I don’t know if it was stored on a shelf incorrectly or it’s it’s a design flaw.

Beautiful, sturdy, storage...many uses, easily put together in about 2 minutes! Love it!
This is the handiest storage that I have ever had! It also looks elegant while storing! Could be used for make-up, kitchen, bathroom, even a beside the bed caddy to hold your remotes and necessities to watch a movie! Very sturdy, I held a 10 lb. bag of potatoes on the middle shelf, and a 10 lb. bag of potatoes on the bottom shelf, with some fruit on top!! Beautiful twisted looking glass (plastic) for a more elegant look. There’s only one thing I wish you could change. I’d like to put the fruit on the plate on the top, but it will not go together that way! It’s so big it needs to sit in the floor, making that very cute little bottom shelf almost useless. Very pleased with this storage and comes in very handy!! Love it and have recommended it for friends!

Perfect!!
I had to replace my old metal stack bin. It was starting to rust and look well worn. I saw a lot of metal and wood bins but wanted something that was not to expensive and would be easy to clean. This was perfect. 4 baskets, bigger than my previous bin, and pretty sturdy and easy to clean (plastic). I ordered in white. It sits next to my white cabinet in my laundry room with my white machines. Looks clean and perfect!!

Nice Stand
This is very sturdy and was easy to assemble. I use it on my bathroom countertop. The top basket holds my hair dryer, getting the cord up off the counter while still plugged in. Just what I wanted.
