Installation Guide

  1. Preparation: Disconnect the fuel line and remove the lower unit from the outboard motor following your engine's service manual. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly.
  2. Remove Old Components: Disassemble the old water pump housing, carefully extracting the worn impeller, gaskets, and seals.
  3. Inspect Surfaces: Check the pump base and housing for corrosion, cracks, or scoring. Replace if damaged.
  4. Install Wear Plate: Position the new wear plate (32768) onto the pump base, ensuring proper alignment.
  5. Lubricate Impeller: Apply marine-grade grease to the new impeller (47-89983) blades for easier installation and initial lubrication.
  6. Insert Impeller Key: Install the impeller key (8M0032837) into the drive shaft, then carefully install the impeller, bending blades in the correct rotation direction.
  7. Install Liner and Seals: Place the liner (48753) over the impeller, then install the seals (37721001, 25-20273) in their designated grooves.
  8. Apply Gaskets: Position all gaskets (27-19553, 27-19551, 27-19552) according to the service manual's exploded diagram.
  9. Assemble Pump Base: Mount the water pump base (46-77822A1) and secure it with appropriate fasteners, torquing to manufacturer specifications.
  10. Install O-Rings: Install the O-rings (25-26722, 2530) and drain plug seal gaskets (26-830749) in their respective locations.
  11. Reinstall Lower Unit: Carefully align and reinstall the lower unit onto the motor, ensuring the drive shaft engages properly with the impeller.
  12. Test Operation: Reconnect the fuel line, run the engine with a water supply (using a flush attachment or in the water), and verify proper water discharge from the tell-tale. Check for leaks around all gasket surfaces.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my Mercury 40HP engine?
A: Verify your engine is a 4-cylinder model manufactured between 1989 and 1997 with serial number 0C159200 & up or 9570790 & up. Cross-reference the OEM part number 8M0251127 with your engine's service manual or parts diagram.

Q: How often should I replace my water pump impeller?
A: Mercury recommends replacing the water pump impeller every 2-3 years or 300 hours of operation, whichever comes first. If you notice overheating, reduced water flow from the tell-tale, or operate in sandy/debris-laden water, inspect and replace more frequently.

Q: What are the signs my water pump is failing?
A: Common symptoms include engine overheating, weak or no water stream from the tell-tale indicator, steam from the engine, or the overheat alarm sounding. Address these issues immediately to prevent engine damage.

Q: Does this kit include everything I need for a complete rebuild?
A: Yes, this comprehensive kit includes the impeller, wear plate, liner, all necessary gaskets, seals, O-rings, pump base, and bonus items like a fuel filter and gear oil pump. You'll have all components needed for a thorough water pump service.

Bully proof?!
Size: 5 in
We have the cutest little pit/lab mix who destroys stuffed toys in about two seconds flat. It’s always a HUNT to find toys he won’t instantly shred. This brand has some of the best! They were in FiveBelow for a while and it was the only brand that stood up to him initially. He finally got through the first only after MONTHS so we bought a few back ups and they’re still going strong months later! They’re also not super heavy so these end up being the toys we play fetch with most often! 100% will be buying more in this line in the future!

Great Option

When this chew arrived, it immediately became a favorite. It seems sturdy and is soft enough to be dental friendly.

Don’t buy
Size: 5 in
I bought one at a store for my Rottweiler puppy, about 2 months ago, I bought one from here n about 5 minutes she had chewed the end off, they did send me another, no charge, well I received the other bone yesterday, she chewed a big split in it. Won’t buy anymore, I’m out the money, which isn’t much. Made in China also, no more. Going back to Kong toys, they do last with aggressive chewers. Don’t know why but the one I bought at the store is holding up real good.
