Captain, I have watched a lot of videos from people doing the water pump replacement, and I must say, you explain it so much better and in detail than anyone else. Thank you!

[@MrGaroli70]

Want to agree...yout detail in explaning each part was the best so far.

[@vanbrudenrijden5932]

And typical you tube doesn't show hardest part to remove the key piece

[@hughmungous1]

Your video has taught me how to do the impeller myself! I watch it once over before I start everyone time I replace mine haha! Legend🙏

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thanks cap. Im glad it has help and i have more videos in my channel about Yamaha maintenance 👍🛥⚓️ Thanks for watching.

[@richardbeck7584]

Captain, I liked your video. It was very helpful. Four things: 1. I would not put anti-seize on the threads of the anode bolt. The anode is specifically designed to allow an electrical current generated by dissimilar metals to flow to the zinc as a sacrificial metal. I would think that putting anything between the threads of the bolt and its contact with either the anode or the metal of the foot would impede that process. 2.. It might be helpful to just give an extra reminder about shaft rotation and to think of it as viewed from the top to make it perfectly clear. 3. When I did mine, I was surprised to find a lot of dried material in the holes in the foot that the bolts go through to get to the motor. I had to stop, clean out the trash and recoat the bolts before I could bolt up the foot. 4. Lastly, I found that it was very important to line up the gear shift linkage first when reseating the foot. The is a lot of play as to where that connection from the engine comes down and I found that there was a very small sweet spot wherein I could seat the gear shifting tube in place and then get the water tube in place. Seat the shifting linkage first. Really touchy. Would really help to have two people.

[@FreedomWon20]

Great video Capt.. If I would change anything it would be NOT to use grease inside the impeller cup. True it does allow the impeller to go on easier, BUT you are introducing it to the water ways of your motor as well. This causes a sticky film on the walls of the cooling areas and the thermostats and that allows the sand and salt to stay stuck to the greasy walls of the water ways in your motor.. The best thing to use is "LIQUID SOAP" inside the cup of the impeller to allow it to go on easy. Then the soap just washes away AFTER the impeller is on and the first 3 min. of running the motor... Just wanted to pass on some advice I was given years ago...

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes Captain soap will be a better solution thank you so much for the advice whenever I do this again I'm going to use soap instead of Grease thank you and it really makes sense what you're saying👍👍😉

[@swampbiologist]

@@OutOnTheReef That's how we all learn! Great Video!

[@kaseyc5078]

Sorry at which point in the video are you referring to (ie where he put grease on the impeller cup)? Noob here

[@the69drajc]

When he greases the water pump metal plate, plastic pump housing, and rubber impeller.

[@jordan8168]

12:28 is where he greases it ill be honest i spat on my impellor for installation works the same as lube

[@bbarton433]

Great help, tks.On my 175 I had to remove the keyway to take the ss plated below the impeller off. I did use grease as you did. In saltwater, there's no flim, I wish there was, saltwater is a killer. Tk you

[@Raleigh1boy]

Great video amigo. I just used it to change the water pump on my 200 Yamaha. Fortunately I also had advice available from Justin who services rental boat yamaha engines at my marina. A few things. On my motor the lower unit bolts or 14 MM. My trim tab bolt is 13 MM. Just so you know they may not be the same. I changed out my pump housing. If you do, make sure do you have the curved receiving piece and gasket installed in the water outlet tube on the new housing. Yamaha does not include that with a new housing, you have to asked for it. For a first timer it’s a trap. The tube won’t seal with the brass water tube in the upper engine housing. It happened to me, I took the lower unit off again, and Justin knew exactly what happened! We took the old one off the old housing and popped it in the new one. Problem solved, just a little extra work. Last thing. My 2016 Yamaha F 200 manual says to replace the impeller every 300 hours, not every 100. Unless used often in sandy or muddy water conditions. Most mechanics suggest every 100 for every condition. Why? As a cynic, I would say more business and money for them. But another reason may be for many engines 100 could take several years if not used much. The impeller is rubber and can dry out and get brittle. However I use my boat often and year-round in Florida. My change was the second at 600 hr. My old impeller looked fine.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes you are right cap os every 300hrs But i herd a lot of things so i changed sooner but to be safe i will change mine every 250 hrs 👍👍⚓ Thanks for the great info cap.

[@JettyLife23]

Just did mine, super easy! Couple tips.... This video is great, use it. The socket tip to get the collar off in genius. When you're installing the washers, plastic sleeve, and collar that keeps them all down, you can use 1" inner diameter PVC pipe to slide down the shaft and properly seat the collar. Pull up on the drive shaft while pushing down on the PVC pipe. Worked like a charm.

Awesome Captain I'm glad everything came out okay and yes I took my plate without taking the key off it was very easy and looks like it wasn't out of place so I was able to take it out without removing it. Great job captain

[@reddawng43x91]

Having the same problem! How hard was it to take the key out?? What method did you use? Thanks

[@MEGA_SOKO]

It's nice to see someone who doesn't take shortcuts. Removing the prop allows you to inspect for line wrapped behind the prop, which could cause damage to the shaft seal and cause water intrusion to the lower unit. Tip: Instead of using WD40, which is a liquid base lubricant, use a good marine grease, like Quicksilver 2-4-C to prevent corrosion, it will last a lot longer than WD40. Nice job!

Thank you sir! I ordered the water pump kit for my 150HP Yamaha a few weeks ago. After removing the plastic housing I could not figure out how to remove the collar on the shaft. The existing impeller looked good so I applied grease to the necessary parts and reassembled without actually placing the new impeller. At the end of the season I'll try this again. Unfortunately when I was replacing the lower unit I broke the plastic speedometer pick up when trying to align. Also I believe my original issue was the short rubber hose where the water ejects from the engine housing was clogged with rust and gunk. Using a nail and thin blade screwdriver I cleaned out the short section of hose. All seems fine turning 5100 RPM on the motor. Thank you for posting I now know how to remove the collar from the shaft.

[@alkra7133]

Regular DIY guy, nothing special maintenance, saving a lot of money. However, couple things done not exactly how it should be. First: wood roof key must be replaced with every impeller change, because in a couple of years very same wood roof key (never changed) will be bent. Hard to imagine, after all it is rubber against steel, but it will. And it will create some slack at rubber/key contact, that in turn will enlarge opening in a shaft. witch in turn will create more slack to the point that one day wood roof key will swipe around inside rubber impeller, making water pump loose torque. Second: pressing down drive shaft collar need same time pull drive shaft UP, this creating some very needed slack at the bottom bearing. and this is very important and may help to avoid some problem with lower unit - marina mechanics know about it. Third: use spline grease on splines, all other greases do not withstand pressure of metal to metal. Best recommendations are: use all parts from kit and read Yamaha repair manual. Good video next time try do not obstruct camera with hands.

[@OutOnTheReef]

LOL John yes I tried to do things the best ways possible I know sometimes it doesn't come out that way but most of the time it works. And yes the old units might be a little harder this newer units are easier. Thank you so much for your great comment and support captain

Great video! You are very detailed in your work and always a clean job. Thank you Capitan.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Glad you enjoyed it Cap. and thanks for watching 😉👍👍👍👍

[@jimbruce9744]

Good clean job of replacing your water pump but you really should invest in a torque wrench. It’s really easy to pull the threads on aluminum and just as easy to crack a casing.😁

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thanks for the tip, and yes i do need one😉👍

[@marijovagner6593]

Hi. Thanks gor great video. Can impeller be damaged if you start motor on trailer just you did it but I did not get small water check spray. I stopped motor but im not sure if impeller is/could be damaged? Motor have 50 hours.

[@OutOnTheReef]

As long as you don't run it for too long more than 60 seconds you should be fine I have done it in the past by mistake and no problems And if you see a good stream of water coming out of the port on the top side of the motor and good amount of water coming out the impala should be good captain But now if you run for a long time the impeller could be melted a little bit in your case how long do you run for captain

[@user-kl4rd7rf3k]

Great video, feel confident going to change my water pump now.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Awesome Captain I'm glad you found it helpful thank you for watching and hoping the best for your impeller replacement

[@justsayin1670]

Good video- other than the grease on the impeller cup (yes,soap is better) beware of the type of never seize you are using on the bolts as most types (even the grey never seize) contain copper. Copper reacts like acid with aluminum-those two dissimilar metals hate each other. If you can’t confirm the copper content in the never seize product you are using you are better off using EP-2 grease to achieve a similar result.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you Captain for the great suggestion

[@jjay2219]

How do I get the key tab out if it is rusted and flush with the shaft??

[@Seektruth-59]

Very good information, thanks vm. I’ll need to do this in the Fall or Spring

[@OutOnTheReef]

Awesome cap. Im glad the video helped, thanks for watching

[@Marcos_reyna]

Very informative video. I took off the housing to inspect the impeller, and forgot that the metal housing has to sit inside the plastic housing before putting it on. Anyways. I was able to close everything and turned on the motor and everything seems to be working fine. Should I take everything off , or leave as is ?

[@OutOnTheReef]

My suggestion captain is to install it back exactly the way it was for everything to function like it's supposed to and you don't have problems in the future

[@Marcos_reyna]

@@OutOnTheReef thank you , after I left my comment. I went outside and took the lower unit back off at 2am . Just to make sure it was good . Yes it was good. Up and running.

[@geraldgigon5488]

Best video I have seen so far on changing the water pump. I will be changing mine next week when my parts come in. I have an issue with the tell tale(TT) not pumping water. I have cleared the hose and TT of any blockages. There was a little dirt blocking hose exit. The water hose that comes from the Rectifier Regulator was clear, have you experienced any issues with Rectifier Regulator or is this a pump issue possibly?

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you Captain for the awesome feedback and no I have never had a problem with that hey and I hope your install comes out smooth. Thanks for your comment and for watching captain

[@kennethsmith8844]

I think I will just take my motor to Ellis Marine in Brunswick, Ga. I always have left over parts!

lol Kenneth in that case i do recommend you to do that 😁👍👍

Thanks Borinken y saludos cap.

[@GameJunky513]

I was always tought to put the boat in reverse before doing this. If the small shaft gets moved at all your screwed and its a pain to get back together right. Put the boat in reverse and the small shaft is locked in place.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Great point too cap. Thanks for sharing 👍

hi captain very useful video did you check and look for any fishing line on the propeller shaft . stay safe

Yes I did Captain and everything was free and clear and thank you for watching on a Sunday morning captain👍👍✌

[@dkbeebe]

Hi Capt. great video. I have a Yamaha 200 also. Any idea on how much weight the lower unit is with the prop removed. I’m going to have to do mine from a boat lift while standing in the water. Thanks

[@OutOnTheReef]

Not sure how much it weighs but I know if you have a stainless steel propeller it will take off between 25 to 28 pounds that's a big difference And I hope your project goes through smooth captain

Awesome 👍. Chuck that wd 40. It collects dust on whatever you spray it on. No Beuno! Grab yourself a can of Corrosion X. You'll thank me later. You can spray all your electronics it'll prevent any rust and Corrosion 👍. Great for rusted bolts also

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thanks for the great suggestion captain

[@bbulliard]

the only thing you may want to mention is dont put any grease on top of the spline cause it'll cause problems

[@OutOnTheReef]

Hello cap all mechanics do it ,why you say that?

[@bbulliard]

@@OutOnTheReef it could cause unnecessary pressure, locking and damage things. I would never put on top of spline

[@Indyken]

Extraordinary job!!! I'm looking at a pontoon with the identical Yamaha motor that's 5 years old with 60 hours on it so I am REALLY suspicious that the motor is okay after all of that time with so little use. Are there any other big engine related things I should check before I buy this boat? Again, GREAT tutorial sir!!!

[@OutOnTheReef]

thanks Ken , my recommendation is check the outdrive oil to see if is milky and run that engine at hight speed to see if everything works great and another thing you can pay a mechanic 150$ to inspect it , that is the best route cap. hope the best for your new boat cap. 👍👍

[@KenUngaro]

Appreciate that very much. What color is that outdrive oil supposed to be?

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@KenUngaro not milky like milk and chocolate , is suppose to be dark like oil cap. hope everything goes well cap. im pulling for you.👍

[@erickhill8063]

If you can tell us how much your repairs would have cost if you had the repair facility maintain your boat that would be awesome, especially for those of us that want to get into boating with a Parker Boat. I know this repair saves you hundreds of dollars but more importantly you know you did the job right!!!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes Eric you save a lot of money I think the dealer make charger for this impeller replacement probably between 400 to $600 it depends on their hour rate, so most definitely be saving some money so that way you can afford when buying fuel for your boat lol

[@erickhill8063]

Out On The Reef Captain if you can add this do it yourself savings information to EACH repair you do on your own that would be very helpful to me and many of your viewers. Thanx so much.
