Outstanding, I watched all 3 videos and just change the impeller on my own 50HP Merc. You make it very easy to understand. Excellent!

[@larryhill5649]

Really like the video and the little tricks and tips which are missing in other videos on this job. Thanks D-Ray!

[@wayneschnaak762]

That is a nice end to a good three part series nicely done!!! Thank you from all the 50hp merc owners

[@waynemeriwether1739]

Great series of videos D-Ray. I knew it was time to replace my impeller, but I didn't have a clue how to do it until I found your three videos. I would have never attempted taking off my lower unit, but after watching your instructions I thought I can do this. I gave it a try and didn't have any problems. Fired up my motor and the water pump is working great. Thanks!

[@peterbrees5473]

You the man! This is exactly what I needed done on my pontoon engine! Just about to have a cold one myself! Thank you sir!

[@thomassnipes2853]

Just bought my first outboard and I’ve really enjoyed your how to videos they’re very instructional and easy to follow along. Thank you

[@magoo72112]

D-Ray I just found you man! I’m just up the road in Newport. I’ll be installing a new impeller on my Merc. this afternoon. These 3 videos sure help brother. Much appreciated and new sub!

[@JC-ux6fx]

Well done 👍🏻 Thanks for the clear cut info!

[@Kobe29261]

This video was awesome! You were very happy and confident. I enjoyed it and learned subtle things I wouldn't have noticed otherwise! Thank you!

[@islandbyfilm]

These Videos were amazing. You made it all look so simple.

[@tommagnum2530]

An excellent tutorial which will enable most anyone the ability to change out their own Merc Impeller. Is my 1976 50 hp Merc outboard roughly the same? Thank you for the effort it took to put this together!

[@edskutecki4684]

Thanks, D-Ray. Your instructions were crystal clear, and your easy going technique made the 3 videos enjoyable to watch. The local dealer wanted $150 to do the job. The impeller cost was $18, and it took about 2 hours of my time. I think I could do it a second time in under an hour.

[@danielmccracken6229]

great video like this step by step instructions makes it easy to understand thanks

[@bernardchartier3526]

Thank you. You speak slowly. Easy to understand even if my mother tongue isn't english. You gave me confidence I could do it. And it worked.

[@clifbrittain2972]

Thanks, Ray. You've given this Yankee the confidence to do it myself.

[@tombonavita]

Great videos, really appreciate the help. Thanks Ray!

[@briannewton6705]

Watched these videos again to change my impeller. Thanks D Ray. Perfect fit!

[@billnabors989]

Sure appreciate the easy to follow video. Took care of my 2006 50 merc following your lead. You the man, D Ray!

[@noealvarado3800]

I've got same exact motor thanks for the info. Don't have to take it to Cabela's anymore, I can do it myself. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@InsidersTravelGuideCanada]

Great video D-Ray Smith! I have worked on smaller Mercs but this video was really helpful with my Mercury 30. There was a couple of things I was unclear about and you cleared it all up! I hope these videos get you lots of traffic!

[@bobpiccola7817]

You make it look easy thanks

[@leoneljvalladares5402]

Thank you sir, that was very helful.

[@nesretep08]

Thanks very much! I am confident now that this is something I can tackle. Not a mechanic......your video is great. I have the exact 50 and it needs a new impeller.

[@bryancoupard3905]

Excellent explanation! Thanks for the video. Twas a goodun'

[@garydiefenderfer9077]

I really enjoyed watching the video. I put a cold one in the fridge and I'm headed to tackle the lower end. Great video, you saved me some bucks. Thank you

[@jesperraskpedersen3725]

Nice and simple explanation on doing an impeller job on the Merucry outboard engine, I´ll be on it in a few moments.

[@larrytanton5787]

Excellent how too video, the only thing i would add is when i change mine on a Merc 175 i remove the prop too check if any fishing line is wrapped around the shaft that can damage seals, plus put some grease on the splines.

[@briant3403]

u know thats really good advice, for some reason first pump i did i took prop off, thinking it had to come off i guess and holy shit did i have the fishing line around my shit, yep cant hurt takes five min, everybody CHECK YER SHAFT, L.O.L.

[@nunoribeiro1147]

you're the man, thanks for the info. It has been a great help keep on doing it

[@daniellek9751]

Awesome video! Very helpful! Can you do a video on how to change the thermostat on a 50hp mercury?

[@DRaysShop]

This is an older video from back in 2011 I had on my other channel, I am in the process of moving some of them over here...Thanks!

[@rnh4547]

Finally finished uploading, I see. Good editing job, D-Ray!

[@DRaysShop]

[@joelthecloser]

super nice guy, thanks for your help on the phone. Joelthecloser

[@terrysmith7454]

i think you do a great job i have the same outboard you explain in details , thanks for the work ,do you have any videos on the thermostat replacement ,seems like my water gets mighty hot quick . ,thanks please reply .back .

[@DRaysShop]

Thanks man!

[@DRaysShop]

tHANKS!

[@timbrimer9416]

Great video, Thanks D-Ray. I have a 50 HP Merc, it's my first, yep, boat and motor virgin. Motor starts and runs, but that water coming out is pretty hot and I'm being told it shouldn't be. Any suggestions? Thanks- D-Buckhunter.

[@markdismang8550]

Love it. I have a 50 outboard mercury that will start, but it's not peeing water out top?

[@markdismang8550]

Help?

[@jeremymoose1613]

you should do a Honda 25 four stroke outboard water pump.

[@sonora7020]

Great video. Thanks. Looks like I have the same motor. Any idea where the trim gauge sending unit is located? My gauge along with my tach are not working correctly. Thought I would start with the trim gauge. Thanks again.

[@keithcogdill5177]

The only thing your missing brother is me hanging out drinking all your beer . .

[@peteg8920]

Very clear, instructive video. Looks like a 2 stroke to me. Is the procedure the same for a 4 stroke ?

[@tuckerjoey]

Great videos. I feel smarter already. You shooting for an R-30 on those exterior walls? Good plan in Michigan anyway.

[@paulbisbee4804]

Excellent videos ! What type of grease was that clear grease you were using ? Thanks for sharing !

[@BigLeo8772]

Great videos. Thank you. I have 2 questions if you don't mind. I have a 2009 model, no water from the outlet. I replaced the pump, but it wasn't bad. Still won't pump. What is the second sealing tube in the repair kit for? And does this unit have a thermostat that may restrict flow from the pee hole?

[@cpthillbilly]

are all the 50hp mercs the same. I think mine is a 1997 model. From Conway, AR here!

[@JohnB-uf7ft]

Can you remove lower unit in the water? Anyone try replacing at dockside? My boat stopped throwing water today. Yesterday it was great. Just began my fishing season. Also, I assume you do not drain the gear oil to remove the lower unit!?

[@user-ff3yb2gc7w]

I just bought a 16ft fiberglass bumblebee and it has this same 50hp engine mine is a 2 stroke but I need a prop, any ideas on what prop goes on this engine?

[@thatguy3227]

What happens when the shifter doesn't align correctly with the lower unit? Just asking for a buddy....

[@kcatto21]

hey D-ray great video as always but, I thought all the walls in your shop were finished with drywall??

[@stephendagle6346]

Any approximate torque specs for us rookies that don't do these all the time? (don't want to have it to vibrate loose, strip a thread or snap a bolt)

[@bowman120volt]

Thank you for the video ray ......question , how do you know when to change it out or is that something you should change out once a year or once every other year or something?

[@ezski]

HELP: Thanks for the great video but it seems to skip the last step.. I'm having a problem connecting in neutral. . I connected my linkage in neutral, and when I push the lower on all the way to bolt it, it goes into forward/drive (out of neutral) and when I bolt it won't go back into neutral and stuck in fwd? Any suggestions? Thanks!

[@terrysmith7454]

HEY , WHAT YEAR IS THAT OUTBOARD I HAVE A 2005 MERCURY OUTBOARD 2 STROKE IT HAS A COPPER TUBE

[@captainhidsight]

thats a big shaft.. easy it up :D why cut at 40 sek... its not that easy? where does the shaft go?

[@Stu650Zuk]

Do you have the correct part number for this impeller and exact outboard? I have changed them before on other outboards and ordered my new one from the local Marina. I gave them the proper numbers, everything and it was the wrong impeller..Two weeks wasted for nothing...thank you.

[@hunters080]

hello dray , When I took the lower unit off to change the impeller my the plastic spline seal and the upper rubber seal came out with the shaft. How can I reinstall it? can I just put them back on the shaft?
