archie,<br /><br />You won't find manuals for viewing for free, unless you find one at the local library. It's worth a shot to check that out.<br /><br />The water pump is located in the foot of the motor about 4-5" above he centerline of the prop.<br /><br />Water pump changes are not difficult, but each engine has its own idiosyncrosies.<br /><br />Manuals are avialble on this page, lower left corner. You'll thank yourself later for having one.

Re: 4.5 mercury outboard

The last water pump I replaced i new where it was without any help or manual and i never replaced one before. warter pump or (rubber impella on my outboard)is located right by the vents that let warter in. I mean the vents that you place the hose to flush out the water and also lets the water in right above the prop. The one I replaced was just a rubber impella blade. But I imange that there might bee some different ways that have come about of making these water pumps on some engines.

Archie,<br /> I have that motor also. Go to mercurypartsexpress.com :go to the area for parts enter your serial and model number. Then you can get parts list and diagrams for each area of your motor. I printed out each section and made my own parts manual. It's a big help. I have ordered the impeller from them and installed it.<br />Good luck,<br />Dennis
