Default Re: Merc 115 Water Pump Question

Seat the impeller by twisting the driveshaft clockwise while seating the impeller housing. If you get it backwards, the vanes MAY self correct, or may not, and then shortly thereafter fatigue and break, sending little pieces of rubber to clog your water jacket and over heat your motor costing you lots and lots of money and frustration.

If you're not sure if you seated it correctly, by all means, take it apart and do it again.
