Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Disconnect the engine's battery before starting any work.
2. Drain Gear Lube: Place a drain pan under the lower unit and remove the drain/fill screws to drain the gear lube.
3. Remove Lower Unit: Unbolt the lower unit (gearcase) from the outboard's midsection and carefully lower it.
4. Access Water Pump: With the lower unit removed, locate and unbolt the water pump housing.
5. Disassemble Pump: Remove the old housing, impeller, gaskets, wear plate, and insert cup. Note the orientation of the old impeller vanes.
6. Clean Surfaces: Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces where gaskets will sit, removing any old sealant or debris.
7. Install New Components: Install the new wear plate, gaskets, and insert cup into the housing.
8. Install Impeller: Slide the new woodruff key onto the driveshaft flat spot, then slide the new impeller on, turning the shaft clockwise to bed the vanes correctly.
9. Reassemble Housing: Place the new housing over the impeller and tighten the bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque.
10. Re-install Lower Unit: Carefully guide the lower unit back into place, ensuring the driveshaft, shift shaft, and water tube align. Secure with bolts.
11. Refill Gear Lube: Pump fresh marine gear lube into the lower unit through the bottom hole until it seeps out the top hole. Re-install both screws.
12. Test Operation: Reconnect the battery. Start the engine in water and confirm that a steady stream of water is exiting the tell-tale port.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
The most reliable method is to match your engine's model and year to the compatibility charts on this page. For absolute certainty, cross-reference the OEM part number stamped on your existing water pump components with the numbers listed in our "Part Number Cross-Reference" table.

What are the signs that my water pump impeller needs replacement?
Common signs of a failing impeller include a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, engine overheating alarms, or reduced engine performance. It is recommended to replace the impeller as part of regular maintenance, typically every 1-2 years or 100-200 hours, regardless of visible symptoms.

What is the difference between the 2-stroke and 4-stroke kits in this listing?
The kits are designed for different engine series and contain different components. The 2-stroke kit (replaces 6H3-W0078-02-00) fits specified 50-70 HP models, while the 4-stroke kit (replaces 68V-W0078-00-00) fits specified F75-F115 HP models. Ensure you are selecting the kit that matches your engine type by checking the compatibility tables.
