Propeller is external (outboard motor on a boat) Impeller is internal (vehicle water pump).
The impeller on an ESKA outboard motor is typically located within the water pump assembly, which is situated at the lower unit of the motor. To access it, you usually need to remove the lower unit from the motor. The impeller is housed inside a plastic or metal housing that can be disassembled for maintenance or replacement. Proper care and regular checks of the impeller help ensure optimal cooling and performance of the outboard motor.
The water pump impeller on a 7.5 hp Mercury outboard, is located on top of the gearcase, and is driven by the driveshaft.
The impeller is located inside the water pump housing, on the topside of the gearcase. The gearcase will have to be removed in order to service it.
An outboard motor water pump operates by drawing water from the body of water in which the boat is submerged. As the engine runs, the pump's impeller spins, creating a vacuum that pulls water into the pump housing. The impeller then forces the water through the cooling system, circulating it to cool the engine and expel excess water through the exhaust. This continuous flow prevents overheating and ensures the engine operates efficiently.
First, remove the lower unit (there is a housing for the water pump). The drive shaft goes through the housing and turns impeller. Remove the housing, the impeller is on the shaft. Install the new impeller. When replacing the housing, turn the drive shaft clockwise to make it slide down over the impeller.
To repair the impeller on a 7.5 HP Sears outboard motor, first, remove the lower unit by unscrewing the bolts that secure it. Once detached, take out the old impeller from the water pump housing, noting its orientation for proper installation of the new one. Clean the housing, install the new impeller, ensuring it fits snugly, and reassemble the lower unit, making sure all bolts are securely tightened. Finally, test the motor in water to confirm proper operation and cooling.
No power to pump. Motor burned out. Intake is clogged. Impeller disconnected from motor.
The impeller pump on a motor vehicle is more commonly know as the water pump. The water pump, pumps water through your cooling system to keep your vehicle from running hot.
To replace the impeller on a 35hp Mercury outboard motor, first, ensure the engine is off and disconnect the battery. Remove the lower unit by unscrewing the bolts and disconnecting the shift linkage. Take out the old impeller from the water pump housing, clean the area, and then install the new impeller, ensuring it is oriented correctly. Reassemble the lower unit and reconnect the battery before testing the motor.
Every two years to be safe
To change the impeller on a 75 hp Force outboard motor, first, disconnect the battery and remove the lower unit by unbolting the necessary screws. Next, take off the water pump cover and remove the old impeller, noting its orientation. Install the new impeller in the same position, lubricate it with water pump grease, and reassemble the cover and lower unit. Finally, reconnect the battery and test the motor to ensure proper water flow.
