  • DO NOT LET YOUR IMPELLER LOOK LIKE MINE!
    I try to give you a quick look at how to change your water pump/impeller on a Honda 9.9, 15 or 20 hp motor. Sorry for the sucky editing, no idea what I'm doing!

    Edit! So a year later and I'm on the water and motor is barely peeing. I beach the boat and take off lower end (make sure to keep tools on your boat!) and inspect impeller - it was fine but TWO old impeller blades were stuck in water channel (under metal gasket) restricting water flow...make sure to take the screen intake off and find old broken impeller blades unlike I did!!

    Thanks for this episode. I dropped the lower unit on my Honda 20hp, informed by your tutorial. It was easy, and when I found the impeller intact, I used my compressor to blow out the intake tube. All reassembled, and water circulating like it should. Problem solved!

      Great! Next time I bet you'll start with blowing out intake tube THEN check the impeller 😉

      @@towerh6680 Definitely! But the main benefit for me of viewing video tutorials like yours is that it demystifies the mechanical processes involved, and gives me the confidence to just dive in and do it. I recently installed a n OEM starter motor and related parts on an 8HP Yamaha outboard, and again, it was thanks to online content that I was able to tackle this much more complicated job. Cheers!

      @davidcooper2516 Right! I enjoy that as well. I also make the videos so when I forget how to do it I just watch it again lol. I keep a spare impeller and the few tools needed on my boat at all times now so I can fix on the water if needed.

      @@towerh6680 Great idea. I'll be doing that too, though this job would be much more challenging while afloat. But the consequences of running the engine without a functioning impeller are clearly disastrous. I always have a backup to get to port in the form of an electric trolling motor. Slow, but reliable.

    Good video.
    Just what I needed.
    One thing I will do is flush out the tubes coming and going.

    Thank you so much. I had to remind myself with this video how to do it

      Haha me too. That's why I make these videos. Wasn't peeing good yesterday so I watched the ending of the video to see lol. Blew compressed air in the line and it cleared it.

    Did you shift into forward before removing the drive?

    Did it go into a limp mode or anything when your impeller took a crap?

    • @towerh6680

      Motor kept sputtering that's what made me realize it wasn't peeing

      Ebay. I bought 2- one to keep on the boat so I can fix on the water if needed

    Brilliant , I forgot the extra bolt on the housing so it wouldn't drop

      Glad it helped. I make these videos to remind myself how to do it when I forget about that bolt in the future 😁

      Welcome! I've revisited my videos because I forget too lol. It wasn't peeing great yesterday when I was crabbing so looked at the video to see how it should...blew air in the line and it cleared it.
