Maybe some useful information.

My local outboard shop wanted $250 to replace the water pump in my 70hp 1988 Yamaha 2-stroke.
Someone on this site linked me to a video that walked you through it, took me all of an hour to do it myself for the first time ever. Bought the kit for $24!!
Whoever that was.....THANKS!

... wasn't me, but glad you got it fixed.

Now, if you're like my wife, that means you can go out and buy something else for $250 because of what you 'saved' by doing this job yourself.

Yeah, tried that.......guess what!
