Detailed Evinrude Water pump replacement

[@rich3825]

This was the best repair video I have seen. Nice and clear good sound. I was afraid to replace my water pump impeller until I saw this. I even like the fact that you could fast forward parts. Good close ups and good lighting. Thank you I will look forward to more ETEC repairs!

[@donaldmcleod4566]

I ask for a video on changing the water pump on a 30 horse power e-tek and i get one on a 175 h/p. Two totally different animals. Oh well.

[@chadcawley8112]

Thank you sooooo much for this video saved me a lot of money!!!!!!! The only little part that I had to replay handfuls of times too be clear was the reason you slide the key and gasket down the shaft the gasket it just to help hold the key in place while sliding housing and impeller when the key slips in the impeller the gasket drops down and sits on the bottom of the shaft out of the way. Then lift up on the shaft turn counter clockwise for a turn then lift up on the shaft and turn clockwise you will feel it click in that’s it! I have a pair of 175hp Etecs! I was quoted $1,000 per motor for 300hr service I spent $300 in total for parts for both motors saved $1,700.00 it was super easy anyone can do it!!!!! Just take your time follow the video exactly you will be fine! West Palm Beach FL

I'm glad the video helped you out. Thanks for the great comment.

[@andreyshcherbinskiy6873]

Can the key be held with assembly lube ? Sticky stuff?

[@NEILSWORLD]

Probably

[@ChrisBeardsley]

I have read and watched a couple different sources on water pump replacement, each having it's own little nuggets of wisdom. This video has come the closest to compiling all the little tricks. And completely new ones like the keyway/oring trick and only one other source (read) talked about pulling up on the shaft an turning to lock into place - nice to see it done in video. Easy to see this is far from your first water pump rodeo. Thank you for posting!

[@NEILSWORLD]

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad it will help you. I have done one other water pump made different engine. I decided to change this one before I sold the boat. I got a lot of good advice from the dealer. 👍

[@shawnwilliams4177]

Excellent repair video. You gave me the confidence to change the impeller myself. This way, you know it's done correctly and not half ass'd like a lot of mechanics will do.

[@gaylenohman7574]

Thanks! Great video .... much better than others. It was good to see the procedure of holding the impeller key on the shaft with the o-ring and also the hint to turn the shaft counter clockwise to unlock key, then lift up on the shaft and turn clockwise to re-lock the key thus setting the impeller in its optimal position.

[@NEILSWORLD]

Thank you for the great comment

[@lenny7577]

Are you not supposed to put an o-ring on the top of the shaft??? Also is the key to the pump a one way fit ? So I can't turn it sideways or anything one side looked fatter which side should that face???

[@brianbetts5773]

Great video. Easy to understand and all steps seem to well documented. I was afraid to tackle this job but this has given me confidence.

[@NEILSWORLD]

Glad I could help

[@stevehall7542]

awesome video! I used your video to help me change out the impeller on my 90etec! thank you

[@garys9790]

Thank you so much for the video Marina wanted $600 in labor to do this!

[@NEILSWORLD]

You're welcome!

[@extremexconcepts]

What is the adhesive and is it a must?

[@jazz419]

I just assumed the oring was already installed under the cup.....I figured they had just included an extra. This video saved me a lot of misery. Thanks a ton.

[@NEILSWORLD]

Glad it helped.

[@jarrodhumphrey9003]

This was the best. Everyone always skips the oring between the cup.

[@davidcampbell526]

Awesome video. I have just completed the impeller replacement on my 130 HP ETEC. Everything went nice and smoothly. Thanks to You ! Well done.

[@NEILSWORLD]

Great!

[@steveleston1848]

did you by chance shift gear case into reverse before removing the shift rod bolt? I saw quicksliver on the addhesive what exactly is this spesphicaly for lower units? where the instructions included w/ the kit? thanks again for sharing the knowledge.

[@kolgrillarn]

First time i changed an impeller and that is because of your exellent video! Thanks!

[@NEILSWORLD]

Glad I could help

[@TheBentarm]

Thanks for the great vid! One question tho, what happens if you can't break the key? I'm right in the middle of it and the shaft turns but doesn't break the key, I can't get the old impeller off.

[@NEILSWORLD]

I haven't had to deal with that. I would try to get a tool under it and pry on it.

[@TheBentarm]

@@NEILSWORLD thanks for that. Turns out I couldn't budge it at all so I carefully cut it off!

[@steveleston1848]

excellent tutorial thanks for explaining. all other impellor videos I've sean they slide the impellor over shaft then houseing. why did you put the impellor inside the houseing then slide both the peller & houseing over the shaft? I'm considering buying a engine just this this do you think 1500 hours is too much an the engine could be worn out. seller says good compression. thanks for any tips.

[@NEILSWORLD]

I don't have an answer for you. This is my one mechanical experience with an outboard engine.

[@danhamrick7173]

great video what kinda adhesive are you using for o rings and such?

[@nymack66]

Thanks a million for posting this, by dealership wants me to wait a month, pluz I did it myself. save some money in the process.

[@NEILSWORLD]

Glad it helped

[@luccasaettone8078]

What's the hose at 0:58 for?

[@darbyfertitta8]

Thank you for posting this, you made it very easy to replace my water pump.

[@NEILSWORLD]

You're welcome

[@malcolmzoll7613]

Great video a lot of details thank you

[@chrisdekock8864]

Just love my e-tec!

[@josephshakal9017]

excellent video. At the start of the video... what is the little hose for, and where does it go to? Mine is gone.

[@petercassar3546]

It’s a pito tube to register your speed. A lot get broken off. You don’t need it.

[@wayneremter8155]

Very informative. Also, showed that I can do this myself which boasted my confidence. Thank you.

[@NEILSWORLD]

Thanks, glad I could help.

[@aNuthaRedneck]

I couldn't quite understand you. What did you put on the threads of lower unit bolts?

[@PCFithian]

Great video, thanks for posting!

[@ВладБурлин]

Can you please tell me what kind of lubricant you have in the tube?

[@martiwf0]

Good video, but like all the rest, nothing is said about lining up the pump outlet with the pipe inside the upper unit when putting it back together. Some of those upper pipes floop around and it is next to impossible to get them to line up. Plus, they only start to meet up with each other when the space to look in there is too small. I completely missed the line up when I put mine back together. I didn't know about it until the motor overheated. It took me several attempts to finally get them to hook up. I don't know why none of these Evinrude videos ever mention that. I would think that to be a very important issue to bring up.

[@NEILSWORLD]

Oops

[@bobholmes5157]

Thanks this was a great help . I also had a hard time putting the side cowl back on problem also being that rubber block.

[@NEILSWORLD]

I'm glad it was a help 😀

[@jeffb1639]

HI I have seen and done on a Yamaha Outboard, instead of fitting the impeller into the housing, you fit O.ring and Key to the shaft, then the impeller to the shaft, that way you see the Key sitting in place, then as you fit the water pump housing you turn the drive shaft counterclockwise whilst gently pushing on the housing and the impeller seats itself into the housing. Would this work on a Etec 115hp? as its easier than trying to install the impeller and then slide onto the shaft. Thanks

[@NEILSWORLD]

I didn't find it difficult at all to do it this way.

[@it4dps]

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful.. I watched the "how to" water pump video from Wholesale Marine and I could not figure out how the ****** they managed to get the water pump put together without pinching the big o-ring. When I tried it their way that o-ring kept getting knocked out of place by the impeller because they said to put the water pump case on over the impeller while it was already on the drive shaft. This video made MUCH more sense. Thanks for a common sense approach!! (..I wonder how many Wholesale Marine pumps are out there leaking because the o-ring is installed wrong?)

[@SylvainBOSSON-og8fi]

I like those DIY , and water Pumpe

[@matthewbrant6083]

your video saved me$$ 350.00... THANKS!

[@ericdavi1231]

If the impeller key falls out during installation, will the impeller just free-spin? My G2 has the exact same impeller key. I used the o-ring to hold it in place just like you and slid the impeller over it. It seemed to go on smooth, but I hate how you can't really see it go on from the top like my old mercury. I rotated the shaft clockwise and I could see the impeller rotating inside through the hole in the top of the pump housing. I think it went on correctly, but any advice would be helpful.

[@totowolf9716]

Be sure to mark the trim tab or you will have uneven steering if goes on different.

[@lilfishrman]

And what happens if the key won’t unlock ???

[@denniss2900]

Are you using bellows adhesive? Thanks

[@NEILSWORLD]

Yes

[@ronpaddock7694]

This video is what I needed Thanks

[@NEILSWORLD]

You're welcome

[@joseperdomo9278]

Hi, why you put adhesive? is really necessary?

[@NEILSWORLD]

The boat dealer that I bought the kit from advised it. I also believe it was in the instructions that came with the kit.

[@adamwarsh4283]

Curious as to what grease you used for the impeller?

[@maciejkubiak5898]

Thanks from Germany, i try this for my etec 90 2010

[@samtate1260]

I wish my shifter cable linkage was that easy to get to mine is behind the carburetor and the starter on 1984 115 Evinrude waiting on parts to come in the mail thanks for the video

[@robertbohn2654]

Great video, where to put the adhesive and the direction of the impeller, I do have 1 question if anyone can answer is what type of adhesive was he using?- 3m or some kind of marine type adhesive.

[@NEILSWORLD]

It was bellows adhesive recommended by the boat dealer that I bought the kit from.

[@ChasingDreamsLivingLife]

I have a 2007 Etec 250...White Motor. Would this be the same process on it?

[@ScreamPotato]

What a great video, thank you!

[@travisroper218]

what kind of adhesive did you use?

[@NEILSWORLD]

Bellows adhesive

[@javierperezatan1518]

Hello friend, do you know what pressure the oil pump of a 175 etec year 2013 must have? Thanks

[@NEILSWORLD]

Sorry, I do not know.

[@jakemoody4399]

I have a 2008 Etec 200 HO, and can't seem to get the lower unit to slide back in. I'm assuming the shifting linkage is getting blocked somehow. I've tried to putting it in forward, reverse, turning it every which way. Any tips?

[@NEILSWORLD]

Sorry, that is the only time I've worked on one of these engines. I didn't experience the situation you're having.

[@marineservice6691]

thanks , very nice video . It will help me to change it

[@dsciarrino3663]

The Best money can buy.

[@malcolmzoll7613]

Great video, what is that little hose you unhooked from the lower unit before taking the lower unit bolts off ?

[@bee2333]

So my 83 evinrude 90hp i just replaced impellar. The impellar has a small play before the key locks and turns with the shaft

[@NEILSWORLD]

I'm not an outboard mechanic but that is not a precision fit I'm sure there's going to be a small amount of play.

[@Grandpa_RLP]

I have a question for you. I have not been able to find any video for a 1992 Evinrude 48 SPL. It comes apart much like this one but when I take the bolt loose from the linkage and then try to lower the unit off the bottom it doesn't want to come out. The reason it will not come all the way down (2" is all) is because there is a rubber boot that the linkage goes through at the top and the flat part of the linkage on the end is bigger than the round part so it doesn't want to pull through. Does yours have this boot?? Should I lubricate the shaft and force it through?? Do you think it comes apart somewhere else and doesn't actually pull through?? Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

[@NEILSWORLD]

Mine didn't have that boot, sorry.

[@Grandpa_RLP]

NEILVVT​ I went ahead and lubricated the linkage shaft and pulled through the rubber boot. The boot pulled out of the hole like I was afraid of and is now down inside. There is also a boot on the lower end which also pulled out. I was able to put it back in because you could just reach it from the bottom but the top one is still inside the housing somewhere hopefully will not cause a problem in the future but I am shocked that no one else has ever said anything about the boots. I did get my water pump put in and everything is working fine but I don't understand the lack of talk about boots in any of the hundred videos I watched.

[@MrJean9009]

@@Grandpa_RLP crazy engineering

[@NeonDreams7]

Excellent video! What type of adhesive and grease did you use in the process? Thanks!

[@NEILSWORLD]

Thanks, the adhesive was a tube of Quicksilver bellows adhesive that the dealer sold me with the pump. The grease was some all purpose grease I had on hand.

[@Wayno228]

What is the purpose of the adhesive and is it a must have

[@marcodattena]

what sticker did you use? instructions indicate adhesive 847, what you used is equivalent? in other videos they use fat, what do you think?

[@NEILSWORLD]

The adhesive was a tube of quicksilver bellows adhesive. That is what the dealership sold me with the water pump to use for this water pump replacement.

[@joeyhurley4867]

Why remove the shift link

[@Wayno228]

Does anybody know if this would be the same on a 2008 etec 115 saltwater addition

[@aNuthaRedneck]

I have to replace the water pump on a 2013 115 etec. Anyone know if the same water pump kit is for the 2013 model or what the difference is with a 5007556?

[@thomasrice5225]

Did you ever get a answer? i have the same motor as you and I'm wondering the same.

[@anthonykennedy3835]

Do you know if this is exactly the same process for a 2008 Evinrude Etec 200 H.O.?

[@NEILSWORLD]

Anthony Kennedy I'm not 100% sure but the directions in the kit said it did from 75 horsepower to 300 horsepower so it must be roughly the same procedure because it's the same kit.

[@rich3825]

What do you have to do to get a response to a question? It's been 2 months.

[@rich3825]

Is the impeller key the same on both sides, so it 's facing the right way when you put it on the shaft?

[@NEILSWORLD]

It is flat on the side that goes on the shaft. It is also wedge shaped, the wedge shape is what allows the unlocking by turning the shaft.

[@NEILSWORLD]

At 10:26 you can see that the fatter par of the key is toward my thumb

[@rich3825]

Thank you! Again excellent video! I think you should check your videos once in a while because I'm sure many times people have questions! Keep up the good work especially on those ETECs.

[@michaelthomas4156]

I turned the drive shaft counter clockwise to release the impellar and it just kept spinning. I pulled on the impeller to try and remove and the shaft pulled out completely with little force. Not good. At that point, I brought to the mechanic. Evinrude etec e115dslsuc
