I need to replace my water pump in a 1988 Force outboard/85HP as soon as possible. Can anyone give me help on how to do this?

Re: Water pump installation

Search for a post that may have already been made giving the instructions you seek. Of all the topics we talk about here this one comes up a lot. You will need a manual and it can be ordered here from iboats. Good luck and welcome to the board.

Re: Water pump installation

I agree with Jeffs. I had to do the same thing with my 120HP Force about a month ago. Do a search for water pump, impeller, cooling, over-heating etc. I recommend a manual to help you with the specifics. If it is anything like the 120HP i just did, you will need to remove the lower unit to gain access to the water pump and make sure you don't futz with the lower gear shift rod too much - when I put mine back together it wouldn't go in reverse because I had accidently unscrewed the lower shift rod several turns. Good Luck!
