How mechanical are you anyway ?...
And where is your customary fish story and personal introduction ? ...
Usually this intro is posted in Ifish community ...

Back to the outdrive ... To put it in a nutshell the water pump is located on the
bottom of the upper housing of the outdrive and requires complete removal
of the lower part of the unit ...
You should have a decent grasp of mechanical operations or at least purchase a repair manual on your outdrive ...:twocents:
