This is what I got so far....

[Newbie@boats]

I took a picture of what I am doing to change my seals in the water pump to try to fix my problem.

I ordered my thermostat and gasket today.

In the picture #1 has to come off which needs to be pulled off to take the water pump cover off I believe?

#2 Is where the weep hole where the water was pouring out off.

#3 Is the cover that needs to come off to acess the water pump and change the seals?

Just want to make sure I am doing this right, or theres something I am doing wrong, or something does not need to be done.

Any tips or advice would be great, you guys have been lots of help so far!

Re: This is what I got so far....

Review the section in the Merc manual for seal replacement
1 comes off and the stator must be removed
3 No, this cover comes off to remove the impeller vane, then the main timing case cover is removed .If the cam is grooved ,it should come out for Speedi-Sleeves
This link explains the procedure

BUT anti-freeze should be coming out , not just water
