How to Replace the Water Pump on a Johnson Evinrude 85-300hp Outboard

YEAH!!!!!

[@davesmith4834]

This is a great video. After watching I attempted to replace my water pump. It did not go well. Comments below are the result of my personal experience replacing my water pump on a 130HP year 2000 outboard. First to access the shift rod bolt you need to remove lower cowing on the left side. This is very easy and only requires the removal of 4 bolts. Second the gear case on my motor is a V6 and very heavy for one person. Get help. Removing a SSTL prop really helps with the weight. Third "this is critical" It is possible to install the gear case with the water tube going up to the engine not in alignment with the water pump outlet. This will deform/crush the copper tube that supplies water to the powerhead. (guess how I learned this. I badly crushed and deformed the tube by trying to install the gear case by myself. I spent 2 hours reshaping the water tube. The other option would be to replace the water tube which requires pulling the power head and a weekend) After attempting to get the deformed water tube back to reasonable condition I reinstalled the gearcase with a helper so I was positive that the water tube and pump outlet were in alignment. My unknown at this point was did I get the tube in good enough condition to properly engage the pump outlet grommet so I would maintain water pressure. To answer the question I installed a tee in the water indicator line and ran a small tube outside the motor to a 0-30 PSIG. I took the boat to a local lake and I have 8 psig at 650 RPM and 30 PSIG at anything above 1500 RPM Not sure what it should be but seems to be OK. Hope you can avoid my problems by reading this.

[@wavehaven1]

I used a floor jack and some blocks under the gear unit and used a jack stand in front. I got the shafts in some , lowered the engine tilt until it was kinda strait up and down, got the floor jack with blocks under the unit then I inched it up, used the jack stand in front to help it from falling down. Its alot easier than fighing it in place like young guys like to do. My outside help would of been more work, alot of insulting and a mean headache.

[@saltysteel3996]

Be sure to install the little O-ring in the plastic housing before gluing in the stainless steel cup!!! Also, it is normal for water to come out from the lower engine mount covers on the midsection.

[@rickhutcheon2608]

You forgot the O ring between the cup and housing and also the one on top of shaft...made me do the job twice...

[@davidlisenby1752]

Yes I noticed that also when I watched this video. They didn’t take the stainless steel impeller housing apart from the plastic housing and install the o-ring with a small amount of sealer. Then it’s recommended to put some adhesive on the outside of the stainless steel housing before seating it back in the plastic housing. And yes they also forgot to replace the lower o-ring as well. They really need to revise this video or a lot of viewers are going to have water leaks and low water pressure 😕

Excellent video... very well paced and very well filmed. I guess the only thing missing is a list of parts, kits, etc. that we can buy to get this job done. Thanks for taking the time to make this, it's really helpful.

[@dl6729]

Didn’t add o-ring between housing and cup.

[@martiwf0]

After all was said and done on this well done video, I count extra O-rings not mentioned. I am betting one goes in to the composite housing before putting on the stainless cup. There appears to be a groove at the center of the housing for it. All throughout the video you see 5 rings and only 3 are mentioned in the installation. When the soap is being rubbed on the wear plate, you can see down inside the housing and still not see an O-ring. I will need to go back and find the diagram of what goes where. I followed this video exactly when I changed out my water pump and had left over o-rings. Water flows, but my motor heats up at high speeds. I have to go back to find out what I did wrong.

[@chrisrobinson7957]

did you figure out why it is overheating at high speeds. my does this too

[@TheVmj5]

Excellent post/video. Just got through change my water pump on 250 Johnson. Video was spot on. Thanks

[@johnayres7302]

Very professional. The manual has you insert the impeller in the housing first. This method is MUCH better

[@ToneKing-rn7ui]

I've installed the impeller both ways, and I think it is easier installing it in the housing first as suggested in the Evinrude instructions. Setting the key in place with grease and then holding it in place with the greased o-ring as you lower the pump housing down to the base works great.

[@saltysteel3996]

It was easier for me to install the impeller in the cup first.

[@ap4802]

At minute 4:20, when you placed the impeller “cup” inside the housing, did you intentionally leave the “O” ring that is supposed to be placed between the cup and the housing off the new pump for a reason? I just rebuilt my pump, and the old pump did not have that “O” ring there neither. Thank you for the instructional video, it’s been the best one I’ve found for my 1988 Johnson J110TLCCA. Other than that question I have, great job on the “how to”. Thanks.

[@shaydu1967]

at the 4:58 mark, what is that O ring and why don't I see it on the shaft any more????

[@reggiehallman355]

First of all, thank you for taking the time to post this video. After watching it and reading some comments I installed a new impeller kit in my 200 today. Problem I'm having is getting the foot back on. Mainly, the shift shaft wants to push back to neutral every time I attempt to reinstall. Maybe I'll get it figured out. Thanks again.

[@ct1762]

that's why you put it in reverse when installing... so the shift rod doesn't move!

[@stephen6759]

You missed showing the medium sized oring between the metal can housing and the pump plastic housing before gluing it together. Once I glued the pump housing together with the can you can't get it apart again to put that oring in. I followed this video and don't have the water pressure it should be with an extra oring left over. I thought maybe it was for another motor style or something. It would also be good to note what size oring goes where. Obviously the large one goes on the plastic housing.

[@joernpaust-andersen5044]

XLNT Video ! Here a note on Disconnection of the Shift rod/shaft from the shifter pin in front of the engine : There is a) the small bolt to be unscrewed & b) a tiny "hair pin" to be pulled that needs to released on the shifter pin before the shift rod/shaft hole is freed from the tiny pin on the shifter bracket. a & b must be released before one can c) push the shift rod from starboard to port (gear side towards center) out of the shift rod/shaft hole - and opposite to reinstall. A head lamp is good for light. No need to dismount the lower cowlings or the carbs. (on OMCs 1993-97 115 HP & 175 HP 60degr.)

[@ChrisBeardsley]

I was just about to post on the same thing... 7:50 there was no explanation of HOW to align the shift rod - seems like that is a critical detail! Where can I get more information (video or manual) on what you are talking about?

Great Video. I did not know how to do the job so I went looking. I also found your site with all the parts I need. Once I take it off tomorrow I can order the parts needed. Excellent find on the internet.

[@stephenphillippo2326]

I didn't see you use the large/medium o-ring gasket. There are 4 of the o-rings. 1. under the housing. 2. that goes under the impeller. 3 that goes onto the drive shaft up top. and what's the 4th larger one for? Not the one under the housing. But the 2nd largest one. I have it too in my kit but can't seem to figure out where it goes. Maybe it's for another type of motor?

[@comet4242]

Stephen Phillippo i found out where that medium sized o ring goes,, the video skips a step.. before you put that Cup in the housing you need to put the O Ring in the groove thats inisde the housing... then put the cup in.... they forgot that step and the step why they put an O Ring on the shaft between the Wear plate and the Impeller when in the next shot they removed the O Ring.... and then the fat O Ring goes on top by the splines.. but i did there trick of pushing the cup down and twisting it didnt work i did it 10 times always O Ring came out.. now its stretched..... the trick i will do is you just twist the Impeller with your hand holding the cup.... then put the O Ring on... then slide it down onto the Key... this way you cant wreck the darn O Ring by stretching it

[@C.Seaton]

I am writing this comment on Sept 29, 2023, in order to add some important clarity as to what is involved in changing out the water pump on an OMC V-6 outboard engine. The subject video indicates that it applies to all engines from 85 to 300 hp. My OMC is a mid 1980s 150hp V-6. If possible I will include a photo of its exact “ID plate”. This video begins with a very quick comment advising that first you disconnect the “shift rod” LINK so that you can drop the lower gear case, then allowing the new water pump to be installed. They give a very quick 4 seconds of video showing that “disconnect” proceedure. (See video 18 seconds to 22 seconds for this disconnect) NOW I WILL TELL YOU that it took me well over one hour just to find that disconnect point TODAY on my 150hp OMC V-6 !!!! It is a slotted head bolt that’s about a 5/16” head. That bolt head faces toward the port side of the engine. It requires a screwdriver that is 12” long just to touch the head of that slotted head bolt, it is so deep within the engine. Once I found it it was so buried within the interior of the motor that although equipped to photograph the disconnect bolt I was unable to do so. On my motor that bolt is about 10 inches in from the port side cowling’s edge. Further it is in back of and below the lower most carburetor. It CANNOT be reached from either the front of the motor OR from the starboard side of the motor. MY POINT HERE TO YOU READING THIS IS - - IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE SUBJECT BOLT EVEN FROM THE PORT SIDE OF THE MOTOR. I am an experienced mechanic with many decades of having done this kind of work. IF you do remove the subject shift linkage bolt you will then be tasked with reinstalling that bolt after you replace the relatively easy water pump. Realigning the two pieces of shift rod and then putting the bolt back into that assembly will be the closest thing to “brain surgery” that I can imagine. You will likely drop the bolt int the innards of the motor’s swivel mechanism and that is when your real troubles will begin. As good as the subject video is as regards the actual water pump change it is terribly flawed in not thoroughly addressing the problem of the shift rod disconnect and reconnect. I’ll include two important photos if this video allows that. Apparently unable to add photos. THIS IS A JOB FOR A HIGHLY SKILLED MECHANIC WHO HAS DONE THIS EXACT PROCEDURE MANY. MANY TIMES.

P.S. since this website did not allow me to post the pictures intended above, here is the model and serial number of my above Johnson 1985 V-6 150hp engine. It is model “J150STLCDC”, serial “R7309958”

[@zacharyirving5080]

i know its a little late, but just my opinion: Pull the prop off before you start this job. This will allow you to inspect the prop shaft seal, and remove any debris or fishing line that gets caught in there. It also protects your prop in case of accidentally being dropped....

Nice Video. I've spent a few days trying to figure something out. I am swapping lower units. The one that I removed has a STRAIGHT shift rod (not even sure it's the correct one. I was Bait & Switched). The replacement one, has a bend at the top. Which is correct? If the bend is no good, do I just remove the straight one, and put it on the replacement? It's a 1994 150 Ocean Pro. I'm using the lower unit, of a 1996 200 Ocean Pro, which I believe to be compatible.

Great vid .. but one question. Why so much glue/RTV on the water pump gasket ,O ring..cover and stuff. It seemed that it didn't have as much when it was disassembled. Some people change their water pumps every other year. Figured it would be difficult to scrape the bottom aluminum housing and wear it down or score it because you have to scrape it off.

[@randycousineau1445]

I put in forward instead of reverse. Now after assembly motor only goes in reverse? How can I fix this?

[@ToneKing-rn7ui]

I just got my 1996 Evinrude Ocean Pro 90 V-4 back together after replacing the water pump. I am not sure if this engine is unique, but there is no video on KZbin showing how to disconnect and then reconnect the shift rod. The connecting bracket is in the front/center of the engine held in place by a 3/8ths bolt. Access to the bolt is blocked by a rubber hose and its clamp. Putting the shift in reverse buries the bracket almost completely, so I put it all the way in forward. The only way to get access to the bracket is to remove the air cleaner(?), lower cowling halves, disconnect the shift cable end, and a cotter pin to allow you to move the shift lever linkage shaft to port, which disengages the bracket from the shift rod end. Remove the bracket bolt using an open end wrench to allow you to pull it to port side as far as necessary. My bracket wouldn't come off the shift linkage shaft, but it came far enough to disengage from the shift rod end. Re-installing is a real bear. Raise the shift rod up with a needle nose pliers or vise grip to give you the best chance to be able to rotate the shift linkage shaft up far enough, to line the bracket pin with the hole in the shift rod. Now comes the hardest part. Tap the bracket pin through the hole in the shift rod end, tap the bracket back fully on and flush with the end of the shift rod linkage shaft and re-install the bracket bolt. This last part took me a couple of hours before I finally got the pin in the shift rod end. I suggest you hire someone to do this job on this engine.

Another thing that was not covered during the installation of the lower unit back into the outboard. There is an inner water tube that needs to be inserted into the pump housing for the water to get transferred. This is a big deal because that tube sometime will not line up, you have to coax it into the hole.

They didnt show the bigger than the fat o ring, I think it goes between the plastic housing and the metal bucket, then the oring in the shaft, the big oblong oring mating the plastic housing to the plate, the molded oring on the tube thing, then the selector seal. EDIT: n/m I bunch of ya'll noticed it too, my first time rebuilding a water pump, v4 130 TXAUM :D

[@cfauvel]

what were the sealants and adhesives used? Looking at my manual it states to use OMC Adhesive M where it calls for adhesive, but doesn't state what sealant to use between the lower unit and the stainless plate's gasket.. OMC is out of business and am not finding a BRP equivalent for the adhesive

[@ct1762]

just use gasket sealer for the cup. all it's doing is stopping the cup from rotating, which it wont do anyway because of the locking tab. don't cover the idle relief hole though or it will run too cool at idle. the gasket just use omc or equivalent sealer as per above.

[@mlbabineaux]

OMC Adhesive "M" is .....3M 847

[@tedmatthews4277]

No gear oil? 🤔

[@TheGnthreman]

what was the brand of compound and glue used?

You forgot small oring under cup

[@robbynelson3]

Can anyone chime in with pressure readings before and after doing this project? I have a 2000 Johnson 200.

[@jimsager821]

15 lbs pressure.Some prople vac test also,that's 5lbs vac.

[@joeschmit461]

Thank you for the video, a lot better than the manual! Saved me time.

[@aspenrebel]

No where in the Service Manual does it say or show HOW TO DISCONNENT THE SHIFT ROD AT THE TOP!!! I guess it must be some inside trade secret.

[@micheleblevins8393]

I can not get the lower end to go all the way back into the motor

[@79Satd]

If the the lower unit is in neutral you have to rotate the flywheel as you push it in, if it is in gear rotate the propeller until it goes in.

[@jonboy230]

I had trouble also the first time I tried to put the lower unit back on. Use a ratchet strap to hold the weight of the lower unit and trim the motor down. This allows you to put the lower unit in straight up instead of at an angle...everything lines up better.

[@ColtWKnight]

What type of glue is used in this video? I have the same engine in the video.

[@dexter2433]

3M black weatherstrip and gasket adhesive work great for the o-ring and it looks like he is using a similar rubber adhesive ....can see what looks like 3M but can not make out the type but most forms i read say a rubber contact adhesive and one recommend the one i named ...just did mine on 5 year old e-tec 90 uses the same pump

[@dexter2433]

i think this is what he was using www.amazon.com/3M-Nitrile-Performance-Rubber-Adhesive/dp/B008F8WD04/ref=pd_bxgy_200_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B008F8WD04&pd_rd_r=ZJ52VBR01CX1V0GF80PA&pd_rd_w=Zp78f&pd_rd_wg=HZswh&psc=1&refRID=ZJ52VBR01CX1V0GF80PA

[@ColtWKnight]

Thanks - I bought some to go with my water pump kit. Just waiting for the weather to get a little warmer to install.

[@enniosavini6591]

What type of glue is it?

[@BlueCoastFishing]

3M 847

[@MrLavalui]

awesome video.. i did my 115 Johnson Ocean Pro just like that... what some ppl need to realize is that, its one thing if ur changing the impeller on a 3 to 5 yr motor, u may not have to do everything u did in this video, unless ;;theres groves'' like u said, which usually will not in a fairly new motor, but any motor 10 + yrs of age, u need to do these steps, its important , fuck its a must !!! grove on the medal or not, those things need to be replace, O'rings, Gaskets , housing etc.. u should have all them replaced... for the cost of the kit, or the cost of replace ur power head due to overheating, , well u pick !!!

[@dexter2433]

i just replace all of it in my 2012 E-Tec 90 the full kit was only $70 for everything and do not have to worry for another 5 years i am happy and feel good knowing it is all new

[@joshuamarquez4067]

I have a boat when I try to start it up on the lake, it starts up then it makes a very loud popping sound then smoke comes out out of the water exhaust can anyone help me? It's an Johnson evenrude 33hp electric start

[@randylaskey9257]

More than likely a cylinder misfire. Replace plugs / wires and coils. Use fresh good grade fuel.

[@alecslund8977]

The guy at the boat store didn't mention anything about using glue for the disk or the oring that sits in the housing. My kit didn't even come with a gasket. Hmmmm.

[@markc4921]

How often should you replace it?

[@rikirosello7940]

100 hrs. Or once a year

[@slalomking]

Riki Rosello I run them 5 years in fresh water. Short season in the Midwest.

[@ct1762]

i guess dish soap works, but isn't it easier just to use some tcw3 oil?

[@dexter2433]

but that pollutes the ground or lake :-) also some rubber do not agree with oils .......i actuality have no clue and I am just guessing as to why you may not want to use oil or grease in the impeller housing

[@SonnyGTA]

A Shore why would that be ‘easier’? You’re still putting something on it. Dish soap or oil. Why would one be ‘easier’?

[@Ryzen619v2]

Dish soap washes away and won’t leave a residue you don’t want in there. Depending if your salt or fresh. Salt will crystallize some oils or grease and then can pit your shafts or other parts down there.

[@ct1762]

@@Ryzen619v2 wouldn't it just suck everything out under 20 lbs of pressure after a few minutes? ive been using tcw3 for 20 years and no problems, but you have me worried now. i think ill try soap:)

[@nathansteven7438]

my boat gets hot and i repleced the water pump what eals could i be

[@chris6200]

nathan steven your engine may be full of sand or if it was run dry without water it may have burned up the new pump impeller.

[@nathansteven7438]

What would i take a part to see if there is sand in it

[@jonperley9722]

my be the thermostat to!

[@MrRideoutrw]

Take the prop off--before you replace the prop grease the shaft

cant get the spines to line up when fitting it back together for the life of me... cant close a 10mm gap - i done fkd up

[@waynesorensen7071]

was it the water tube?

[@cattail3]

What would a basic repair/replace/maintaince job like this actually cost? Working on an outboard is a lot different than a lawn mower!

[@houstoncnc]

between 300-400

[@Joewilliecleveland]

2022 - $800 and a four-month wait.

[@45acp61]

I found on a 1987 evinrude 90 hp vro there is no bolt for the shifter and you can not release it when in reverse. leave it in neutral. pull the holding pin and push the shifting rod inword to pull the drive down. all the rest of the vid was great. they need to show more on this engine so people dont go crazy trying to figure out how to pull the drive.

[@stevesavage3695]

+sas spencerport wish i would have seen this last week i spent 4hrs trying to get that damn pin out before i relized how to do it lol

[@210propressurewashing7]

someone . that can help me Where can I order the parts and where is the model or serial number of my engine thanks

[@MickeyMirco]

In my case it was a real &*&%$ to get the shift shaft to align and get the bolt in (at 7:48). It is impossible to reach by hand, thus close to impossible to do anything to correct any misalignment. So the only solution was to make room to get my hands there, by removing the whole carburator assembly. After that getting the bolt in was a breeze. And then the whole carb set needs to go back in. But hey, if you can change and service the waterpump, you can also remove the carbs. It may well be worth your while.

[@kennethsimens9974]

how do i replace water pump on johnson 6.0 model#J6RCDE SERIAL#BO1O6210 out broad marine corp.belgium

[@ct1762]

chuck in reverse.drop the 4 bolts and tab bolt and pull the lower unit off. super easy. install pump. torque pump housing bolts to 60 in/lbs with locktite (technically threadlocker is optional on these little guys). and done.

[@bobsean]

Nice video. Easy to follow

[@danielwilliams-h1i]

he forgot to install the O ring in the housing before GLUING the cup in! critical mistake! I can't believe Wholesale Marine didn't catch this in the video and correct it.

[@bushleaguesociety]

You missed the O-ring on the inside of the housing... Doh!!!👎
