Testing an outboard water pump

In this video I quickly go through how to testing the water pump in an outboard motor. The main tips are having the outboard deep enough in the water and making sure you are turning the drive shaft in the right direction for your outboard motor (most often clockwise)

Hello, I have changed the impeller on my Mercury 30hp and I have checked that the impeller is stuck and spins when you turn the shaft. but there will be no cooler water from Tell-tale. does pressure have to build up and can it take a long time? thanks in advance.

Thank You I rebuilt my water pump reinstalled my Foot (Lower Unit) No water with muffs.Placed it in a barrel up to the water intake’s and no water. Removed the lower unit 3 more times to re check my work. Scratched my head,slept on it and tried again the next morning NADA! Searching the IT and found your posting. Repositioning the engine in order to get deeper in the barrel and WooHoo, my work is good and proves a point to me that muffs can’t be trusted nor can a barrel if you are not close to the cavation plate. Thanks again and as you said if it were a self priming pump things could have worked but now I know. Stay Safe and Enjoy the Water ✌️

Thanks for that info. I was just looking at a 6HP Yamaha tonight with muffs and it wasn't pumping water - never thought a minute that it could be a priming issue. Still buying it, because it's a fairly easy fix either way, but I'll have to barrel test it when I get it home now.

You are the man!!!! I was about to give up. I didn’t know it would suck air if the water wasn’t high enough. The muffs did nothing for me. Filled a tote and now she pumping water like a champ. Thank you!!!!

After battling a water pump for a couple hours I watched this and just hooked up a hose with earmuffs. Problem solved, boat runs like a champ. Thanks Stu!! Rebuilt my lower unit with new dog clutch and all new seals, carb rebuild, fuel pump rebuild, fixed throttle advance, and everything is greased up. Literally all from your videos. Two years ago I paid a guy $650 to replace my impeller (after 6 weeks with my boat). The freedom you've given me is unbelievably valuable.

My son and I had taken ours apart and worked on the impeller. Once we were done we reassembled everything and... no water flow. We had the lower unit in a tub of water with enough to allow the intakes to be below the surface but your tip about lowering it even more was the key point to prime the pump. We tried again with a taller water tub and voila... problem solved...! Thanks so much for posting this video. It saved us so much time and money. Cheers..!

Man, Thanks so much! I just did my first water pump on a little Johnson 15 and set the engine in a bucket of water and it did not pump. Was getting ready to tear the thing apart again thinking I had done something wrong. Your video was a life saver. As you pointed out, these pumps are not self priming. I found a deeper bucket and filled to the level that you recommended and presto, she was peeing like crazy. Thanks for the excellent video. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much! I replace the impeller on my Evinrude 9.9. The motor has planing fins, so I used a storage box that accommodated them, and still submerged the intake. I had used a motorcycle fork seal grease, on the impeller, during reassembly, for insurance. After running for 20 seconds, no "peeing"? I was about to tear it back down, second guessing my work, when I found your video. I removed the fins and used a recycle bin, deep enough to submerge the pump...presto! It primed and circulated. THANK YOU!

@deylighthunting4461 3 ай бұрын

This video saved me a lot of time and money. My motor telltale was not peeing. I replaced the impeller. Still nothing. I tried muffs. I tried a bucket. Nothing. Was just about to take the lower unit off and verify everything looked right (and it would have, because it was right). That would have lead to even more confusion. Then I would have taken it to a repair shop. But I saw this video suggesting the need for deeper water. Got a new, larger, deeper water trough and it worked! The telltale was working perfectly. Yayyyyy!!!!! Thanks Dangar Marine!

@frankthompson3495 2 жыл бұрын

Great tip. Also, if you have checked everything out and everything appears to look good and the water level is high enough and it's STILL not pumping, look closely at the seal on top of the impellor housing. If it has a seal. Some housings don't have seals. Some do. If they don't, look at the housing itself. Make sure its not distorted from heat. If you stick a short hose into the housing where the water shoots out of the housing, there should be a good stream of water coming out of the hose. Just keep your face away from the sudden gush of water.

I was thinking I had a problem in cooling system but it was just the water level that was too low. Saved the day!

Thank you,I think that is what is going on with mine,replaced all the pump parts including a new outlet seal and little or no water pumping,it was about the level of your first test and no luck with the muffs either,I need a trash can or something deep to get this thing primed.Going to try spinning it while disassembled too to know it's pumping.

Changed the water pump and gaskets, raised the water level in the 'bucket' to just about where the water pump is situated and poured in 5-1 ratio of plain white vinegar which was cheaper at the supermarket, cancelled the descaling fluid......Ran for about 1/2 an hour and was left with a tablespoon full of sand, shells and silt in the bottom.
