05 mercury 135 optimax water pump

[retrov]

I want to change out my water pump and bought a new kit through bam marine. Can anybody give me a quick run through of what I need to do and tools. Thanks, I appreciate it.

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.
