    Remove the lower unit then replace the impeller. That is about as quick as I can get. Seriously tho I highly recommend you get a manual to be sure you do it right. This repair alone will pay for the manual.

    I don't have your engine s/n but this should be the manual you require:

    Check under the heading "Gear Housing" and you will have no problems changing your water pump.
