Step-by-Step Process of Impeller ReplacementOur
yacht technicians follow a thorough and careful procedure to ensure your cooling system operates flawlessly.
1. Initial Inspection and PreparationBefore replacement, we check for leaks, salt deposits, or visible signs of wear. We prepare the workspace with marine-grade tools and OEM-quality impellers for your specific engine model.
2. Removing the Water Pump HousingOur technicians safely detach the water pump housing, taking care not to damage bolts or seals. Every component is handled with precision to ensure smooth reassembly.
3. Extracting the Old ImpellerWe inspect and remove the old impeller, often finding cracks, hardened rubber, or missing fins. Any debris left behind is cleared from the pump cavity to restore full water flow.
4. Checking Internal ComponentsThe inside of the pump housing is cleaned and examined for corrosion or wear. We inspect seals, gaskets, and the impeller key for damage and replace them if necessary to maintain watertight integrity.
5. Lubricating the New ImpellerTo prevent friction damage during startup, the new impeller is coated with marine-safe lubricant. This ensures it fits smoothly into the housing and performs reliably from the moment the engine starts.
6. Installing the New ImpellerThe impeller is inserted with each fin correctly angled to match the engine’s rotation. Proper fin alignment ensures maximum water flow and pressure stability.
7. Reassembling the PumpOnce in place, the housing is reattached with precision torque settings. We use new gaskets and sealing compounds to prevent future leaks.
8. System TestingAfter installation, our team runs the engine to verify water circulation and cooling efficiency. Any irregularities—such as inconsistent flow or abnormal noise—are addressed immediately before final approval.

- Reduced water flow from the exhaust outlet
- Engine temperature rising faster than usual
- Unusual noises from the water pump area
- Leaks or corrosion around the pump housing
