what is the steps to change water pump on 2011 nissian 8hp 4 stroke?
I have changed one on my mercury 4.3 in/out and my mercury 75 outboard.
Is it the same or is there some tricks I need to know?

thanks

Nothing special. Disconnect the shift rod and cam rod (the lower ss roll pin), unbolt the LU, and drop it down. then you unbolt the 4 bolts that retain the upper pump housing. If you change the impeller, I highly recommend doing the complete wp kit, available from any dealer, including me. That way, you get a new ss guide plate and the ss cup (and new gaskets) as well. The pump will work better and last longer if you do the complete kit.
