go to youtube. stick in "outboard water pump" and watch. i believe theres 5 bolts around the lower unit and one thats under the rubber thingy on the rear top of the unit.

Check: SIMYamaha-Andy's Tips, for step-by-step instructions and photos for water pump replacement and several other maintenance/repair items...very helpful information. I did my water pump for the first time several months ago and it wasn't nearly the nightmare job that I'd read about, as long as none of your bolts aren't stuck and break off! About a 2 hour job, first time. Order and replace the entire pump kit, not just the impeller. Good Luck!
