Installation Guide

  1. Safety First: Disconnect the spark plug leads and the battery to prevent accidental starting.
  2. Access Lower Unit: Place the outboard in neutral. Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the upper leg.
  3. Remove Gearcase: Carefully lower the gearcase away from the engine. The driveshaft will slide out from the powerhead.
  4. Disassemble Pump: Locate the water pump housing on top of the gearcase. Unbolt and remove the housing to expose the impeller.
  5. Inspect and Clean: Note the rotational direction of the old impeller's vanes before removing it. Clean all gasket surfaces and inspect the housing and wear plate for scoring or warping.
  6. Install New Impeller: Install the new gaskets and wear plate. Slide the new impeller onto the driveshaft, ensuring its vanes are oriented in the same direction as the old one.
  7. Reassemble Pump: Lightly lubricate the inside of the pump housing and install it over the new impeller, using a twisting motion to bed the vanes correctly. Securely tighten the housing bolts.
  8. Reinstall Lower Unit: Carefully guide the driveshaft and water tube back into position while raising the lower unit. Bolt the gearcase back onto the engine leg.
  9. Final Checks: Reconnect the spark plug leads and battery. Operate the engine using a flush-muzzle or in the water, and confirm a steady stream of water is exiting the tell-tale port.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this kit fits my Mercury 15 HP?
This kit is specifically for 15 HP two-stroke models, including the Carb SeaPro versions. The best way to confirm fitment is to check the "Compatible Engine Models" table and cross-reference your engine's original part number with 8M0070780, 42038T3, or 42038Q3.

What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Common signs include a weak or intermittent water stream from the "telltale" outlet, engine overheating alerts or alarms, or a noticeable decrease in cooling performance, especially at low speeds.

How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to inspect and/or replace the impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use. Frequency may depend on operating conditions (e.g., saltwater use may require more frequent changes).

Fit is perfect. Colors shown are true to color. This one comes with a strap which doesn’t show in description which to me, was a bonus. Definitely a good buy.

Great value, great product!
I use this as a home jewelry box - I don't wear a lot of jewelry, so it fits my needs perfectly. Its pretty lightweight and would be good for travels as well. The outside is leather-like and seems to be waterproof so far. I use the first layer for jewelery and second layer to store my hairclips and pins. I've had it for a few months and it seems to be great quality and durable! Definitely a good value as well because I've seen similar jewelry boxes sold at popular retail stores for over $30.

Lovely Slate Gray Jewelry Box
I just received this Slate Gray jewelry box. It's really quite lovely and just the right size for my granddaughter's vanity. I'm really excited about giving it to her, for her 12th Birthday, to hold her better jewelry. It's so nice I'm going to order another one for my other Granddaughter's Birthday.

Songmics Slate Gray Travel Jewelry Box
I purchased the slate gray Songmics jewelry box for travel purposes. We take long vacations and have an upcoming 20 day cruise. I wanted a jewelry box that was compact enough to put in my carry-on bag, but still had room to hold a months worth of jewelry, especially to keep my necklaces for tangling. When this arrived, I was pleasantly surprised and the packaging was great, shipped in a sturdy box. so no damage to the jewelry box. The color is a rich gray and the 2 tier box, while small, holds a lot of jewelry. I wanted to purchase the ink black but could not justify paying twice the price of the gray one just to get it in black. It is small enough that it will fit in most any hotel/ship safe so I won't be sitting out in the room anyway. It has a strong magnetic snap that keeps the box from opening while in transit. The one negative for me is that the pierced earring card is so thick that my earrings barely go through to have enough room on the back side the slip the backs on. I may separate the double thick card, realizing it will not look as nice but will be more functional. The bottom half of the box will hold bracelets up to 1 1/4" wide. There is enough room under the earrings card to place pendants, additional earrings, etc. The necklace holder is designed to hold 5 necklaces, but I added one more by going across the top, end to end, to prevent tangling. I also placed smaller hoop earrings in the ring holder which holds them securely. This box held 7 bracelets, 2 of which were wide, 5 rings, 9 necklaces (I placed 3 in the bottom of the box, and had room for 23 pair of earrings (some placed in the ring holder and in the bottom of the bo)! I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
