impeller or water pump on a 1991 225?

[bcraigan]

Where is the impeller or water pump located on a 1991 225? Anyone got a copy of a diagram? Thanks! Checked my drain tubes and no clogs so i'm going to check the impeller next.

You need a book on that thing.
The foot (correct name "gearcase") will need to be dropped.
Remove the 4 visible bolts around the exterior above the cavitation plate, one located center of gearcase above propeller and one hidden behind the steering torque adjuster (trim tab), you got to remove it too.
Also you have to disconnect the shift linkage rod located center just below the bottom carbs.
If you go to the trouble to check it, just replace the entire water pump assembly.
Till you get the book, look at BRP's parts catalog.

Not hard to do after you find that last hidden mystery bolt and figure out that you need elf hands, a couple extentions, and a universal to reconnect the shift rod LOL!!

Before you start taking bolts loose be sure to tilt the engine up about half way so the shaft will come out of the mid section.

No doubt, disconnecting the shift rod is the most difficult part (assuming the foot pulls apart from the body without much trouble...).

I use a 1/4" drive 3/8 swivel socket on a 12" extension. I pack the socket with some sticky grease to hold the bolt in the socket once its removed.
