Installation Guide

  1. Safety First: Disconnect the spark plug leads and the battery to prevent accidental starting.
  2. Access Lower Unit: Place the outboard in neutral. Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the upper leg.
  3. Remove Gearcase: Carefully lower the gearcase away from the engine. The driveshaft will slide out from the powerhead.
  4. Disassemble Pump: Locate the water pump housing on top of the gearcase. Unbolt and remove the housing to expose the impeller.
  5. Inspect and Clean: Note the rotational direction of the old impeller's vanes before removing it. Clean all gasket surfaces and inspect the housing and wear plate for scoring or warping.
  6. Install New Impeller: Install the new gaskets and wear plate. Slide the new impeller onto the driveshaft, ensuring its vanes are oriented in the same direction as the old one.
  7. Reassemble Pump: Lightly lubricate the inside of the pump housing and install it over the new impeller, using a twisting motion to bed the vanes correctly. Securely tighten the housing bolts.
  8. Reinstall Lower Unit: Carefully guide the driveshaft and water tube back into position while raising the lower unit. Bolt the gearcase back onto the engine leg.
  9. Final Checks: Reconnect the spark plug leads and battery. Operate the engine using a flush-muzzle or in the water, and confirm a steady stream of water is exiting the tell-tale port.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this kit fits my Mercury 15 HP?
This kit is specifically for 15 HP two-stroke models, including the Carb SeaPro versions. The best way to confirm fitment is to check the "Compatible Engine Models" table and cross-reference your engine's original part number with 8M0070780, 42038T3, or 42038Q3.

What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Common signs include a weak or intermittent water stream from the "telltale" outlet, engine overheating alerts or alarms, or a noticeable decrease in cooling performance, especially at low speeds.

How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to inspect and/or replace the impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use. Frequency may depend on operating conditions (e.g., saltwater use may require more frequent changes).

Cute!
Color: Green
Super cute and fun to use, easy to clean, appears to be very well-made. Excellent, especially for such a low price. I will say the only complaint I have is that the spout design could use some work; the end of it doesn't come out far enough so it dribbles a bit when you try to pour. Also, and maybe this is to be expected due to the use of natural materials, but there are a couple of small split pieces/splinters on the chasen (whisk) I had to trim. Otherwise perfect!

Beautiful gift for matcha fans!
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
My daughter is obsessed with matcha, so when I found this for Easter I knew it was the one. She makes her own latte every single morning, so this fit perfectly into her routine. The packaging alone is gorgeous — the colors worked beautifully with the Easter basket without me having to do much styling at all. Everything she needs to make her matcha was included in the box, nothing missing, nothing to track down separately. I was so happy I stumbled across this, and she absolutely loved it. Honestly one of those gifts that just lands exactly right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
