The outboard water pump is a device that pumps water from the lower unit to the up part of the device. This will make the engine stays cool when while it is being used. When it is mud, the shells and sand might get into the outboard motor water pump and distract the operation of the water pump. If you do not check it, you will damage the water pump. Thus, you should replace it.

You will find that your water pump might last for long time. All you need to do is to do minor repairs when it is needed. You will also make the unit work properly. The followings are some repairs that you can do to fix the water pump that you have.

1. Remove the bolts on the lower part of the unit. To do this, you can use 12 to 14 mm wrench. You will find that the size of wrench that you need is determined by the make of the outboard motor. In this case, you will find that each bolt sizes the same.

2. Look at the bottom of the anti-cavitation plate and remove the trim tab from it. The tab is right on the propeller. You will find that it is bolted through the trim tab. Make sure that you separate the bolt and the tab after removing them.

3. Remove the bolt of the lower unit. This will detach the lower unit from the motor. You should do this very carefully in order to avoid the lower unit slide out uncontrollably. When you do this step, make sure that the lower unit is free from the motor.

4. Place the lower unit in the safe place. You should expose the motor and the shift shafts after you removed the lower unit. Make sure that you remove them with gentle pressure and slide them out.

5. Take the bolts that house the water pump. Make sure that you handle them carefully in order not to make them break caused by corrosion. You will find that the casing will be easily lifted when you have removed those bolts.

6. Slide the impeller of the pump over the motor shaft. Then, remove the steel plate and the gasket which the impeller was on.

7. Take the "o" ring and the stainless steel cub out off the casing. You should also remove the key way from the shaft by using standard screwdriver gently. Make sure that you do it by doing a top-down motion.

8. Start installing the new parts of the water pump kit. Before installation, you have to lay the neatly. Replace the gasket to its original place for the steel plate of the pump. Make sure that the gasket is put over the steel plate and is fitted it well. Then, you should install the new key way. Locate small indention on the impeller and line it up so that it is placed properly. Next, you should put the "o" ring outside the edge of the cap. After that, set the new stainless in its place inside the casing. Slide the "o" ring and the stainless cup over the shaft to the impeller. Turn it clockwise. Make sure that you press down the plastic cap when you are turning the motor shaft. Then, grease the bolts that you have removed to secure the casing.

9. Grease the bolts to replace the tops of the shift shafts and the motor.

10. Find two holes in the mid-section to reinstall the lower unit of the motor. Now, your outboard motor pool pump is fixed so that you can use it for your needs.
