Impeller on a Mecury 5hp outboard
Does anyone have instructions on changing an impeller on a 5hp Mecury
Outboard? Also, does anyone know of any sites where I can plug in my serial number and determine the year of my engine? Glenn |

Glenn I recently changed the impellor on a small merc using a Clymer manual - it worked fine for this job, and they're usually readily available in local boat shops. I'd never done an impellor before. A factory manual might be the best though. This site will give you s/n info for mercs: http://www.maxrules.com/merc_contents.html. That site (part of Mastertechmarine.com) also has a complete line of owner's and shop manuals. Cam |

Impeller on a Mecury 5hp outboard
There is no particular trick to replacing the impeller. Take out the 4 bolts
and one nut in the back (near that little stainless strainer) where the cavitation plate meets the leg extension, drop the foot and you will see the "can" where the impeller is. I seem to remember that these motors want you to be in "forward" when you pull the foot and be sure it still is when you put it back. If you don't mess with the linkage while you have it apart it should just slide right back in. The only trick is getting the two splined shafts and the water port all aligned. It is handy to have someoner helping so one person is holding the foot and the other one is watching the shafts but I have done it alone many times on my old 7.5 merc. Don't lose the rubber connector for the water pipe or the washer that will fall out from under the nut. |
