Please feel free to contact me directly if you need a hand or this isn't the exact answer that you need! DIY How to Change a Water Pump Impeller on Suzuki DT-55 [Suzuki DT-55 Water Pump Impeller]. There were a few things that went wrong when we did this, however, it was a learning experience. The impeller needed to be changed out as the thermostat light was indicating it was getting too hot which meant that not enough water was circulating to cool the motor which means that the impeller needs to be changed. They way you should change these every couple of years anyway. During attempted removal of the motor's lower half, two of the mounting bolts were corroded into place and subsequently got twisted off. We had to drill them out and replace the screws. One of the main take aways from this was to make sure to disconnect the shifting linkage. For this motor, it disconnects under the engine cover.
Here's a (paid)link to a new impeller kit:

Thankyou! Please keep making these videos on this engine. I just got one
Right on!! If you ever do change the impeller be sure to disconnect the shift linkage FIRST. Thanks for commenting. ✌️
Hi guys. You could have saved yourself a headache by removing the shift link rod first. The bolts broke due to you not taking the shifter bolt out. Hitting it with the hammer before removing the lower bolt also under the electrode. I'll bet you regretted deciding to change the impeller. Tight lines and hope you got it sorted. I also have one and did a few videos on the DT suzuki
Yup figured that out the hard way:) thanks for the input
Hello. I have dt85 also .what year is that n what size prop are you using ? I have 15p on my n it’s only going max speed 21mph.
This one was an 85. No idea on what size prop it had.
I noticed that when you had it all assembled the shifting rod was not all the way flush in . How did you get it back in flush . I’m having the issue where mine won’t sit back down flush . At min 3:05 you can see where that shifting rod is not flush that how mine it and I can’t get it to go back down so the seals and that rubber plug sits flush. Help please
Yes sir. That is correct. Ended up having to take the lower in and get it rebuilt.
After water pump and lower unit-rebuild by mistake 🤦 al been takin care of ,what just shove everything back in ? Remember I pushed in the the pin to release the lower unit at the top right of the motor ,shifter pin how does this all line up ?
I’m no pro on this. Had a friend doing the work.
How do you align shift rod screw when reconnecting lower unit? I can’t alin mine
Hopefully someone can answer this for you on the comments.
I have the same engine and have a cooling problem.. changed the impeller and still.. I have water coming out the tale tell for the first 20 seconds of start up and then only exhaust comes out.. I’ve run it with muffs on and inside 55 gallon barrel.. when I take the thermostat housing off I get great water coming out the pee hole and out the thermostat housing when I put it back on I have nothing out the pee hole.. I’ve ran water tru everything and no clogs at all.. has anything like this ever happen to you? Any place u can point me to? Thank you
Gosh that one has got me stumped but I’m no boat motor mechanic. Personally I’d check the forums and if no luck there, take it in. Just my 2 cents.
@@DIYTechnician thank you.. God bless
How did you do with the shiftlink?
Its on top. Disconnected it.
Where do you source your spare parts from?
In this case it was ebay
Did you half to take the 12mm nut all the way off and slide the screw out or what?
Which part of the video?
Yea you do unfortunately no videos on TH-cam show this step regarding separating gear linkage from lower unit very misleading for anyone following these videos although this video he does explain and point to it at 1:59
I have the same question, how did you fix that?
What year is the motor
I forget which year this was. If I had to guess I’d say it was 20 years old.
My motor pumps and then stops i tried again quick and it pumps and now doesnt pump… ?? Imany advice
When’s the last time the impeller was changed?
Do you do different sizes
What in particular
What is the top speed on your dt85?
Just an estimate but when running in optimal condition probably between 30 to 40 pushing a 16 ft aluminium. Plenty fast enough for me:)
@@DIYTechnician just got my out the shop n it only top at 22mhp feel like it can do more … I have a 15pitch on there n got new hub pressed in .. n 16 wellcraft .. is there smthing I need to do it make more speed? It went up to 28 befor I put in shop .
My bolt broke too
Oh no! Did you fix it yet?
Didn't work for me. Could not get leg off no matter what. It would only drop about 4 inches then no more.
Did u disconnect the linkeage
@@DIYTechnician yes I did.
@@DIYTechnician taking to boat shop now

Ended up beating it up pretty good with a dead blow but this probably isn’t the best idea.
