First off, 1996 merc efi 200hp, I went out on the river the other day and got a warning beep ( not solid beep but interrupted and fast). I figuered it might be the waterpump because I never got a consistent telltale stream. I just bought the motor and put it on my boat. I believe I primed the oil injection correctly. Anyway, I got the rebuild kit and saw lot of rubber seals and what not. Anybody on here have a schematic on this or am I going to be forced to by the manual? The old impeller looked great. Just needing a little help getting this thing going so I can sell it. Thanks.

Re: Waterpump rebuild questions

im no mechanic, but it sounds like you bought a bottom end re-build kit, has gaskets and rubber seals for the entire lower unit, if your not gonna tear apart the entire lower unit, then you just need to swap in and out the gaskets and seals you took out. i bought the same package for my motor, and only used 1/4 of it changing the impeller.
