How to Replace an Outboard Water Pump. Yamaha 15HP

[@williamj1527]

Just finished replacing my impeller on my 15 Yamaha 2 stroke.....Thanks for giving the confidence to take that on . Now I thinks I am ready to take on my 115 hp and 9.9 hp Yamahas and replace those impellers ....... You Just saved me a few hundred dollars ..... thanks

[@TropicalZooms]

@@williamj1527 So nice to know that my video helped you get the job done. They’re virtually all the same job on all engine sizes and brands. Just a few different connection differences. Nice to be able to save a few bucks & do it yourself. Thanks so much for the kind feedback. 😃👍

[@atdougherty]

just finished this replacement in my 15 Yamaha 2 stroke......... your guidance was spot on, the job took me only about 45 minutes thanks to your instruction, cheers mate

[@atdougherty]

adding my own reply due to the fact I should have added that the impellor I replaced had an unknown number of hours on it but that the engine wasn't cooling at full throttle, when I replaced the impellor there were only three of the 6 impellor blades left, they're somewhere in the engine, not sure if that will be a problem.......... if they plug up the outlet water exhaust I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it

[@TropicalZooms]

@@atdougherty Great to hear (or read) that my video was a great help to you Andrew. Thanks for watching and thanks for the positive feedback. Hope that the missing part of the impeller has past through and doesn’t cause any dramas. 😃👍

[@darrensmall479]

Thank you sir, a very handy video, exactly what I had to replace. The steps helped me a lot.

[@TropicalZooms]

Thanks for the positive feedback. Really glad my video helped you get the job done. :-).

[@randocommando6826]

I'm going to do this next on the exact same motor. good video straight to the point! I also make the same noises when I working as I'm getting older lol. cheers

[@TropicalZooms]

Haha. Thanks mate. Good to know I’m not alone. They’re a great little motor. Had mine for years and never let me down. Glad you liked my vid. 😃👍

[@HaswellTravelled]

Wonderful step-by-step guidance on the pump replacement. Well done, my friend 👍. Big like and full play. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend 😀.

[@TropicalZooms]

Thanks so much mate. Appreciate your constant support 😃👍

[@cbensch]

JUST what I needed. Couldn't figure out how to release the shift linkage on my 2000 9.9. Same design as yours. 1:23 was all I needed!

[@TropicalZooms]

Glad my video helped you out. Nice to know the little tricks that make this job easy. Thanks for watching & commenting. 😃👍

Hello from Michigan, great video! Thanks. I’ve got a 2007 Yahmaha 15 two stroke. Bought it new then, but mostly in storage with only a few hours on it. Tried it today with some fresh gas with Sea Foam. Started up with only 4 pulls. But not peeing. So I’ll get an impeller and have a go at it myself… and not succumb to a hasty trip to the shop. 😊

[@TropicalZooms]

Great to hear that you got it started with 4 pulls. They’re great little motors 😃👍

[@NickMascallFish]

Thanks. Very handy. Can't believe the pristine condition your engine is in rather than someone that uses theirs 4 times a day in salt. :)

[@TropicalZooms]

Thanks mate. Glad you liked the bud and found it helpful. I don’t get out often enough in the boat 👍

[@gordonwright299]

I've got the same outboard, haven't used it for a while and tell tale not working. Tell tale and tubing not blocked so I'm sure its the impeller. Thanks for the video - really helpful.

[@TropicalZooms]

Glad my video helped mate. Thanks for the positive feedback 😃👍

[@BlackheartCharlie]

Thanks for the video! The tip on how to reach the shift rod nuts probably saved me an hour of frustration. Capt. Blackheart Charlie Key West, Conch Republic.

[@caznden]

Even though I have done this to the 15 HP Johnson we had, watching this was still very Interesting, Thanks for Sharing.

[@triphill]

Thanks for the video. Changing the impeller was simple enough. HOWEVER I broke the gear shift connecting rod which was rusted into the coupler nut. Luckily I only lost about 6mm of the upper rod and the threads were not damaged. I replaced the coupler nut and all appears to be functional.

[@TropicalZooms]

Great to hear it all eventually went well and nice to know my video helped. Have fun out on the water 😃👍🚤🐟🐋🦈🐳☀️

Mate your awesome. Thanks for the info. I’m trying to find out why my yamaha 15 won’t pee. I tried to see if it needs unblocking, no, i tried pumping air, no, i unbolted the plate bolted to the side of the motor where the pee cones out from and cleaned it out somewhat but still no. 😢 now I’m going to try what you’ve done here on this video. Wish me luck fingers crossed 🤞

[@TropicalZooms]

Good luck mate. Hope you get it all sorted. They really are great little motors. Also thanks so much for the kind feedback. Means a lot 😃👍

[@skywalkerallan1877]

Great job done Coast Tripz, i also noticed the camera your using (DJI Pocket ?) i have been thinking of buying one, your video was clear and stable.

I used my GoPro hero 8 Black for this one mate. I moved it around a bit but clamped it on to a chair and my outboard motor stand to try and cover all angles. Thanks for watching & commenting mate. Much appreciated. 😄👍

[@andrewmichael219]

hey mate nice videos. do you run this 2 stroke at 100:1 or 50:1 mix

[@TropicalZooms]

Thanks Andrew. I appreciate your kind feedback mate. Even though I’ve read that these little motors are designed to run on 100:1 I always run at around 75:1. Never had a drama and has always started on first of second pull. 😃👍

[@karendadd483]

Great informed video ..one question how many hours do you estimate were on old empeller? Thanks

[@TropicalZooms]

Thats a tricky question. My outboard doesn't have n hour meter. It had been a few years since I last replaced the impeller, but in all honesty I haven't used the boat as often as I`d planned. At a guess I`d say 100 hours. I think they can deteriorate with use but also over time as well. I`ll be changing the impeller every 2 years from now on. 😄

[@KarmaWatersSailing]

Thanks for sharing.

[@TropicalZooms]

Hope it helped. Thanks for tuning in 😃👍

[@1991syna]

Where did you get the water pump at? Thank you for sharing this video very helpful

[@TropicalZooms]

Hello. I bought the water pump impeller at my local boat shop (Hunts Marine) for under $20. I just told them that I have a 2009 Yamaha 2 stroke and they looked it up on the computer and then picked it out off their shelves. Thanks for watching mate. Glad it was helpful 😃👍

[@mttbui]

I’ve got the same motor and the linking wire on the lower unit has broken. Do you know where i buy a replacement one? Thanks great video btw

[@TropicalZooms]

Hi Martin. Sorry I’m not sure where you can buy the new linking wire. I was lucky having a marine dealer nearby that specialised in Yamaha outboards. Thanks for the kind feedback mate. Really appreciate it 😃

[@TonesAdventuresHD]

good job! The fins on the old impeller were really bent!

[@TropicalZooms]

Thanks mate. Yeh. I’m glad I finally got around to getting this job done. 😃👍

[@TheWaltersdorff]

Good tutorial video. I’ve heritaged a SAIL 15hp outboard motor 4-stroke from 2011 from my dad and have found out that this chinese ob is a Yamaha F15 ‘95 clone. SAIL is surposed to be the same as Parsun and Parsun obs share spareparts with Yamaha. I’m going to change the impeller and I noticed that you only changed the impeller and no gaskets. Is it not nescessary to replace the gasket? I’m asking because when I go to buy the impeller at the Yamaha seller he probably would tell me to change the gaskets and the O-ring. The ob has been stored under correct conditions since 2013 and hasn’t been run since. Best regards Tom / Denmark

[@TropicalZooms]

Hi Tom. Yes I only changed the impeller because I thought that the gaskets still looked perfectly fine. Great to know that the Parsun OB has comparable parts with the Yamaha. I Spose it wouldn’t hurt to replace the gaskets too. I wouldn’t imagine they’d be that expensive. Good luck with the job and thanks for commenting. 😃

[@vynleshmynle7372]

I think you were supposed to grease up the impeller to ease the cover over the fins of the impeller.

[@TropicalZooms]

@@vynleshmynle7372 Thanks mate. Will do that next service 😃👍

I hope this is still going strong for you Den. It’s amazing how much money you get charged to replace anything with boats. Before you know it you’ll be doing it for all your mates. I couldn’t re like this video as I ran it through the laptop in day one but forgot to comment so I’ve come back to do it properly. I’m getting old mate 😆😆 Hope your going well and with a bit of luck the fire season slows down for you guys now. 👍

[@TropicalZooms]

Hi Ryan. Thanks mate. It’s a job I’ve been meaning to get around to for a while and glad I’ve got it out of the way finally. It had been about 4 years since I did it and was over due. I tried to find the yt video I followed last time but it was gone. I thought I may as well make my own vid to help me along next time I need to do it. Now I’ve got my own Yamaha 15 HP service video to easily look back on. Off to QL again tomorrow for a holiday with my wife. How are you mate? How’s the back? I’ve noticed you haven’t made any new vids for a while. I kinda lose interest in making vids at times. I’ve dropped back to maybe one every two or three weeks these days. 😃👍

[@alanryland6433]

Good morning. I recently purchased the same motor and having a little trouble finding parts. Do you have a good link for parts needed for this motor? Thank You!!!

[@TropicalZooms]

Hi Alan - unfortunately I don’t have any links to suppliers. Not sure where you’re located but I’ve always been lucky going to my local marine shop “Hunts Marine” located in Sydney snd Wollongong. In saying that I’ve only ever purchased a new water pump, spark plugs, fuel filter and gear box oil so nothing major. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.

Hope this reaches you a few years late, it seems the throttle bolt is seized, I can manage to get the locking nut away but I can not physically move the other housing but without possibly snapping it! Any advice?

Yes. I would check the impeller. I think that would be the problem if the lines are clear. 😃👍
