Hey! Great video. Thanks. I’m stuck with reinserting the drive shaft on my 1971 Mercury 1350. It hits with 1 inch prior to seating in properly. I thought it was the drive shaft but you mentioned the gear connector. Any advice on how to get either of those two aligned? Thanks
adding grease to the O ring helps it last longer, adding a thin bead of oil on the impeller blades helps it a lot, due to a dry start up & as you put the impeller in the housing keep spinning it as you tighten it down so when it squishes down it doesnt get pinched at the bottom. make sure it turns freely...that happens all the time....and add a bit of green marine greese to all the bolts.
Rotate the drive shaft clockwise while pushing down on the pump housing. This will ensure that the impeller blade are deflected in the correct direction. Apply grease on the flat of the drive shaft to hold the key in place. Do not apply grease to the top of drive shaft, only on the splines. Applying grease to the top end on the drive shaft may cause a hydraulic and the shaft will insert completely. Just some thoughts.😁😁
you did that all wrong dude,when installing the top housing on the impeller turn the shaft clock wise and it will set right down on the impeller,never beat tha top housing down on the impeller,the tabs on the impeller have to be turned a certain way but the way you did it you just cramed the housing onto the impeller,
With so many people passing through. It Would be pretty cool to know where y’all from let me know down here.

Thank you for making an informed video about this entire water pump replacement

Watched this from Little Rock, AR!
A good working demonstration.
Thank you 😁
Good job but should have put some water type grease on the lower o-ring and the propeller.

Mercury tech reps cringed when they saw him beating the housing down.
Not to mention no grease on the key to hold it in place or on the impeller or house.
You didn't lube the impellar housing.
Do the gaskets below the lower assembly need gasket sealer?
Love the shirt you have on bro!!! How do I get one? Do you only have shirts or do you have others as well?
Handy Man Lets Go will be working on it soon.
