Water pump rebuild Evinrude 40

[garbubba]

Along with my 20's I have a 15 foot wooden runabout. Went out with a friend yesterday, dropped some crab traps, fished a bit boat ran perfect. Got home hooked up the muffs, no tell tale (pee). I know it was working the last time I started it, must have gave up the ghost as I ran pretty fast back to the launch.

Ordered the kit yesterday, plan to take it apart today, I've done this with mercury's & mercruisers but not an evinrude, I have the manual.


Any pitfalls I should watch out for?, the shift shaft looks straightforward to disengage.
At least it's much lighter than my 200!
