Installation Guide

  1. Safety First: Disconnect the spark plug leads and the battery to prevent accidental starting.
  2. Access Lower Unit: Place the outboard in neutral. Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the upper leg.
  3. Remove Gearcase: Carefully lower the gearcase away from the engine. The driveshaft will slide out from the powerhead.
  4. Disassemble Pump: Locate the water pump housing on top of the gearcase. Unbolt and remove the housing to expose the impeller.
  5. Inspect and Clean: Note the rotational direction of the old impeller's vanes before removing it. Clean all gasket surfaces and inspect the housing and wear plate for scoring or warping.
  6. Install New Impeller: Install the new gaskets and wear plate. Slide the new impeller onto the driveshaft, ensuring its vanes are oriented in the same direction as the old one.
  7. Reassemble Pump: Lightly lubricate the inside of the pump housing and install it over the new impeller, using a twisting motion to bed the vanes correctly. Securely tighten the housing bolts.
  8. Reinstall Lower Unit: Carefully guide the driveshaft and water tube back into position while raising the lower unit. Bolt the gearcase back onto the engine leg.
  9. Final Checks: Reconnect the spark plug leads and battery. Operate the engine using a flush-muzzle or in the water, and confirm a steady stream of water is exiting the tell-tale port.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this kit fits my Mercury 15 HP?
This kit is specifically for 15 HP two-stroke models, including the Carb SeaPro versions. The best way to confirm fitment is to check the "Compatible Engine Models" table and cross-reference your engine's original part number with 8M0070780, 42038T3, or 42038Q3.

What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Common signs include a weak or intermittent water stream from the "telltale" outlet, engine overheating alerts or alarms, or a noticeable decrease in cooling performance, especially at low speeds.

How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to inspect and/or replace the impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use. Frequency may depend on operating conditions (e.g., saltwater use may require more frequent changes).

Very durable and fun to play with
Set name: Stuffed Animal Dog Toy Set (5 Pcs)
I've had them a few weeks now and my dog that destroys other chew toys hasn't made a dent. My smaller dog made 1 his favorite and sleeps with it. Overall, I think it's a good deal.

Gus the goose Buster's new bff
My pitbull terrier loves his goose and has not tore this up but he had not tried either. He's funny with soft toys but loves A good tug of war or actual chew toy.

Fun Goose Dog Toy
I have a small dog with about 20 plush toys to play with. Added to her inventory now is the ILC Buy Interactive Goose Toy for Small Breeds. It took me a while to figure out where the toy "squeaks", and it makes the noise when the white banded neck around the goose is squeezed. My dog took an immediate liking to the toy and loves to carry it around the house, shaking her head back and forth with the goose in her mouth. It appears to be made primarily of burlap (see pictures) and is about 12-13" in length. Fortunately, my dog doesn't destroy toys, as some (probably larger) dogs do, so it appears to be pretty sturdy and well-made. After a week of playing with it regularly, the toy still looks brand new. I like the coloring and the size of the goose, and this is a nice addition to my dog's playtime routine. It is also priced appropriately for a dog toy of its size and quality. Recommended. Made in China.

Durable toy with a single squeaker
This goose seems to be made of fairly durable fabric. It's not flimsy. I had a hard time finding the squeaker in it at first, but then I realized the squeaker is located in the white neck! My medium border collie grabbed it first. Then my pitbull figured out where the squeaker was and ran around squeaking it for a while, which is her favorite thing to do. So this toy did get some interest from the pitbull especially. She isn't one to chew things up but really enjoys toys that make noise. Since the squeaker is in the skinny neck portion, it made it easy for her to grab hold of it and squeak it over and over again. I am giving this 4 stars only because in the whole long body of this toy, the neck has the only squeaker. I think it would have been better and more stimulating for my dogs if it had multiple squeakers or even some crinkles in the rest of the body...at least some crinkles in the flat feet of the duck. The sole attraction is that one squeaker in the neck. So it could be better, but I do like that it isn't super plush and full of stuffing that would be torn up in 5 minutes like most toys. My pitbull actually took this to another room away from her three sisters, so that means she really wanted to play with this by herself. That's a good sign.
