[@waynem4844]

Thanks Rob, I not only had the knowledge, but the confidence to change my impeller, engine oil and gear lube all because of your videos. I like that you list tools required and any tips that make the job that much easier. I made the tin funel to change engine oil, it worked as promised. Thanks for all your help...I wouldn't have done this work without your videos. Keep up the great work. Safe boating.

Thanks for the video, Rob. It was just what I needed. 🤙

[@charliebarks]

We just got a 2010 Honda 90 on a pontoon boat so have been going through it. I followed your instructions and it was perfect... only had one issue. My new impeller had straight fins and there was no way that I could get them inside the housing. Since my old impeller was still in good shape I ended up putting it back in. So question is: is there a trick to getting the new impellers installed? You really didn't elaborate on how to install it so I assumed it was pretty simple.. but it wasn't for me. Any helpful hints? Thanks... loved your detailed explanation and instructions.

[@captainrobthompson8728]

Ok no problem. The fins are straight because the have no memory like the old one. When you put the housing over the impeller you turn the drive shaft and press down. Turn clockwise. This will drag the fins and bend them together and almost slide into the cup in the housing. Make sure there is a lot of grease or lub on the impeller. Just push the housing down and turn the drive shaft clockwise. It will jump in there. Let me know if you have any issues getting it in. Make sure it's the correct impeller to. There are a few for the 90s. Good luck!

Thanks so much! I’ve done smaller engines but always paid for the 90hp honda. Just finished and it was easy.

Thanks Brandon! Yes sometimes it does if the pickup tube has leak by. The seal on the back of the waterpump housing may not be as tight and you get blowby. You may want to change that out. Thanks for watching!!!

[@kathryndouglasphoto]

Hey Rob, thanks for the very helpful video. Couple questions: When you remove and install the bolts for the impeller housing it looks like a left handed thread in the video. Also when you install the housing over the new impeller you say to rotate the impeller "clockwise" but in the video it looks like it's counter clock wise. Must be your video is reversed and the bolts are actually right handed thread and the impeller actually rotating clockwise? Thanks for the clarification.

[@captainrobthompson8728]

You got it. The camera is backwards in selfie mode so I can control it. They are right handed bolts and almost all outboard engines are clockwise rotation. Your the first to mention it out of a bunch of videos I made. Thanks for watching.

Great video, I have a 5 year old BF100A. I guess it is pretty much the same. Also is it possible you could do a video on changing the 2 thermostats as it appears quite common for them to clog. Thanks again

[@captainrobthompson8728]

Hey Ian. I have not worked on the BF100. But I did do some background dirt work on it. I see it's attached or shared with the intake manifold. That's a problem you can't flush and run it at The same time. The block is a bit different where it gets 11percent more horse power than the 90. It's a different breed of cat So it's not gonna be the same. This leads me to why it's getting clogged. You should replace them when you do a water pump. Always together. I'm guessing your in salt either a muddy location or sandy? If its clogging you should probably run a ridlyme or saltaway in a bucket to break it down and clean the block. If your in shallow try to trim up more so your not touching bottom. This pulls in a lot of sand or mud. I've even seen some blocks get packed way beyond the thermostats. I think a good flush maybe the ticket to keeping the therms in good shape. I also keep paperclips on board to clean out the pee tube if need be. I hope that helps. You can also look at a schematic on boats.net and get the parts you need if you take this on. Just remember the intake manifold bolts are suppose to be torqed to a set poundage. There is a lot to it. Try the saltaway first. Good luck!

[@iankidd6654]

@@captainrobthompson8728 Hi Rob, thanks for the reply. Please can you explain a bit more about. What you mean when you say ‘ I see it is attached or shared with the intake manifold. That’s the problem you can’t flush and run at the same time. I always flush my engine with ear muffs, (rather than the flushing port) but I am never sure if the thermostats have opened. Saltaway recomends runing at 1500 RPM Thanks again

[@captainrobthompson8728]

Sure! Normally a thermostat is on top of the block and the bolts holding the cap are just for that thermostat. When it's shared with the intake the air/fuel can not get to the head. So you can't run with the therm cap off to flush the block. You can still flush on a hose just don't run the engine if you hook up to the hose fitting. You can on micky mouse ears but just be careful it doesn't slide off and starve the engine for water. A bucket is the best way to run it even a garbage can. I hope that's better.

[@iankidd6654]

@@captainrobthompson8728 Hi Many thanks for the reply, much clearer now. I think the dealer forgot to replace both Thermostats but has done now. I took it out at the weekend, seems OK now. But just wondering your thoughts on leaving the thermostats out all together, bearing in mind the water temperature here in Western Australia ranges from 64 degrees F to 75 degrees F.

[@captainrobthompson8728]

Western Australia!!!! I wish I was there helping you out. Send me some pics whedn your out on the water. [e-mail] Ok so no thermostats. We use to do that on some older two strokes and racing motors but not 4strokes and I'll tell you why. What happens if it run cold and not at temp. The rings of the piston do not seat or seal correctly and you have fuel pass by into the crank case. You will then look like your making oil. It will get a little coffee colored and smell like gas. Then it breaks down your oil the level goes up til it compromises the lower cylinder. It's just a huge mess. I would get an extra set of therms and a gasket to keep on hand. Have fun there! Do you ever catch any dogtooth tuna?

[@darrellchandanam6514]

Awesome work, looking forward for more of your videos. 2 questions: do you drain the gear oil before changing the impellar? 2nd: why is it that my engine idles really low when i have the engine cover on like its suffocating, and when i take it off it runs perfect? Could this be something to do with the impeller needing to be replaced?

[@captainrobthompson8728]

Thanks Darrell! I like to drain the oil before just incase you have water in the gearcase. Then you know you have to do seals 2 of which are under the wwterpump. The idle thing. Sometimes it's an air restriction in the cover check that out. The other I've seen is an exhaust leak where the motor was breathing it's own fumes but it was not running smooth. Check the air breather in the cowling and see if anything is in there? Good luck!

Great video. I especially like the real-time part of installing the lower end and the sometimes necessary adjusting. I have a '06 carb model. Do you think a brand new FI would be significantly quieter and better fuel economy? My wife is giving me the go ahead on a new motor as she wants it to be quieter and got wind that the boat only gets about 3-4 mpg which is hard for her to accept when she drive a Prius. Would like to see you do a video on replacing the timing belt.

[@captainrobthompson8728]

Hey Steve I have had both the carb and 90 efi. It is quieter and a tad better on fuel. Your at the year range to really start thinking about a new motor before you just dump money in an old motor. Let her know that this is the best motor she can get. It is extremely efficient the waist is in the prop slips in the water. That's where we lose it like tires spinning on ice til it grabs. Try to run around 4200rpm and don't let it idle to much. You 'll be the cleanest boat out there emissions wise. Go get that efi!

[@paulalfordphotography3099]

Thanks for the video Rob! I have a 2004 BF115 and think I may have turned the shaft counterCW when putting the new impeller in to seat it in the base. It was my first time and another KZbin video said to do it CCW. I put the boat in the water and the overheat buzzer went off immediately when I left the landing so I turned around and pulled it back out of the water. Not sure if I have a big blockage in the water line somewhere or maybe the impeller fins are going the opposite direction, which I can reverse. Any thoughts?

[@captainrobthompson8728]

Hey Paul. Ok, so was it pumping any water? Don't worry so much about the fins. Let's see how much water your pushing. When removing impellers a lot of the time we see some fins going backwards. So make sure you passage way from the engine block to the plastic telltail is clear. Second pull your thermostat. If it's hot and your alarm goes off if you pull the thermostat it should be open if not time to change. Of put in a pot of water and bring up the temp. It should open. While your thermostat is out let the engine run a bit and see if it pushes out any chunks of salt or scale. Then put back together. One last thing at this point. Did you have a complete meltdown before you changed the pump? If so your housing could be restricting flow or even impeller pieces along the way get stuck. In the pick up tube and float around the block til they can escape. I hope that helps for now. Keep me posted!!!!

[@paulalfordphotography3099]

@@captainrobthompson8728 Thanks for the feedback Rob! I actually am a novice and dont know where the thermostat is and never had it off. No meltdown. The tell-tell was just getting lower so I decided time to change the impeller (for the first time). I just started it in a barrel of water and zero water from the tell-tell at all....so maybe a major clog somewhere? I will try to look up a new thermostat and replace that too just because...if I can find the right one.

[@paulalfordphotography3099]

Follow up, I am embarrassed to admit, but I took the lower unit off again and pump cover off and it seems I put the thicker gasket under the big plate, cutting off water flow. I had to look at your video a couple times for that to click. I put it back together, took thermostat out to test run and its flowing again. I ordered a new thermostat too. Salt water does wonders on parts. Thanks again for your video and help. If you dont mind, I may ask for help in the future...might have to send you some donations along the way. :)

[@captainrobthompson8728]

Hi Justin sorry I didn't see this. You have salt packed around the bushing up the drive shaft. You need to put a coat hanger about 24" long with the end cut off in a drill and guide it around the area of the drive shaft. You'll need to break away the salt to get past the bushing. I've done this a few times. Usually with an old control cable. It's flexible and has a lot of wires coming out the end that tear up all the salt. I run it in the drill to keep the end spinning and eating the salt.You will not pull it through. I tired a boat up one to a steel building frame. 18 Scout. And the tired the gearcase up to a dodge truck we tried to drive it out. Nope Yellow strap didn't break the back end of the truck just kept spinning tires. I was only a tech for a year or so following the senior guys. We had to come up with a better plan. Once you hear squeeling when you start or shut off the engine that's the sign salt is building up on the drive shaft bushing. Good luck that's a hard one to get at.

I dont always get water from the tall tell... usually when I've been in gear running and idle down and go to neutral, but after I restart and engine it will usually start again. I have idiot warning light and buzzer alarm for engine over heating which I know works but was wondering what might be causing this. Also motor does not like running on muffs far as pumping water, never will discharge water from tall tell, but will from tank.....thanks

[@captainrobthompson8728]

Ok I've come across this a long time ago. I believe you also have a water pick up above the prop under the cavitation plate. Put a big piece of tape over it so you can run on muffs then you can see it to remember to pull off. As for the week stream lots of them do that. Keep a paperclip on board to clear the overboard or piss tube. Sometime snapping the throttle. But off you run it without the tape the impeller maybe weak. I would look into a new waterpump. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching Makin Do Catfish!!!!

Depends on what year. They are different. Go to boats.net and put in your model and year. Go to gearcase or lower unit. I believe it should be a box with a number that says water pump kit. There could be two kits a service kit that just has impeller and gaskets the other has the housing. Take yours apart and see if you need a housing if you had a melt down. If it's just due use the cheaper service kit.

Regular marine grease, Yamaha, merc 2-4-C, wheel bearing. What ever you can get will work. They will all last different amounts of time. The biggest thing is to keep it sealed and I like to just re-grease every season like an oil change. You'll be fine with what you can get.
