Use Sierra/NAPA # 18-3394 kit(includes impeller) to get all small parts
you will need.

Put shifter in forward.

Don't forget the hidden bolt under the trim tab.

Use care in aligning water tube into pump body.

Lube splines before reassembly, renew o-ring.

Thanks!

Hi Clams,

You have a 1994 48 Special

water pump kit #438592, includes the housing and is recommended for this 12
year old motor.
impeller only #432941

Get a service manual to become familiar with the procedure and to know how
to check the shift rod height adjustment before installing the gearcase.

Good luck

question for you. That 75 blue band Merc I have - I don't have
time to rebuild it - know anybody who needs parts?

I did one on an 88 special... so if the procedure is about the same... I can
wing it.

Thanks!

75 - i need to get it out of my garage. Wish I had time to work on
it.

I figured as a parts motor it might attract some attention. Any
hints?

If you want it and can ship it to CA, be my guest.

Calling Bill Grannis ??
 

Seriously.... yes. I can find it a good home in total or in parts. I'm
sure of that.

Thanks... I've already passed it on to him. I suspect you'll be
getting a purchase from someone in Gaston, SC.

He told me he couldn't get anyone local to even look at it. They all
told him they didn't want to mess with something that old.

He's not that far from me at all if he wants it worked on. I can do it while
he waits if he calls 1st to set it up.

Sounds good, Clams. I passed that on to him, and he talked like he
would get in touch with you.

Thanks.
