Disconnect the shift rod
Not all shift rods disconnect in the same way. Some disconnect up by the powerhead, some disconnect below the swivel bracket, and some disconnect above the gearcase.

Remove the bolts on the water pump housing

Install water pump housing
Turn driveshaft as you place the housing on top of the impeller. You will turn the driveshaft clockwise for standard (right hand) rotation models [links]

Place new water tube seal in water pump housing

Outboard water pumps are simple designs. Located just atop the lower gearcase assembly, they're easy to access and service, too. The pump houses a rubber impeller that's keyed to the engine driveshaft. Water enters the lower gearcase through inlets on the sides of the gearcase, just above the propeller shaft area.

In this regard, where should water come out on an outboard motor? here

[morpheus]

Water is drawn into the water pump through the intake opening of the lower unit, where it passes through a cavity that ends up entering the pump itself. At that point, the impeller pressures the water into the long inlet tube leading to the bottom side of the powerhead.

Also Know, how do you change the impeller on a Johnson 15 HP? Remove the four retaining bolts that hold the pump to the lower unit with a 1/4-inch open-end wrench. Slide the pump housing and impeller up and away from the driveshaft. Remove the impeller and liner from the housing. Insert a new liner from the water pump replacement kit into the housing.
