Anyone have a guide / video on how to change a 2012 PCM HO303 Impeller ?

Cant find anything on the internet, and PCM manual is super vague, doesn't go into details at all.

I have changed many impellers on Indmars & Volvo Penta, but it seems a lot more complex with PCM.



Engine: PCM HO-303
Boat: 2012 Tige R20

Also my maintenance / red warning light turned on this weekend, anyone know how how to check what error it gives without having to take it to the dealer ? (what device to buy that reads codes on boats )

Find water pump. Take cover off. Remove old impeller. Replace with new.

Just kidding. Sort of.

On a serious note, you'll probably get a better response on the Tige forums. Or Planet Nautique. Nauti uses PCM I think...

May not be exact but this is probably close enough. This is the for the PCM 343 ex

Thanks bcrider, thats the exact setup as mine, may I ask what manual is that, and if it is downloadable ?

Without being an a$$ you just gotta "google it" man:

I changed mine this summer, piece of cake. The manual doesn’t give you any specific instruction for changing them. That diagram above is all you’ll need.

• Use a wrench to turn the belt tensioner and remove the belt.

• Find the 3 bolts inside the water pump housing and use a socket wrench to remove them (I can’t remember what size or type, maybe 10mm?)

• Remove water pump housing

• Remove impeller behind housing. Note the direction of rotation. I used a needle nose pliers to remove mine, not too hard.

• Place new impeller and put everything back together

I think that’s it!

awesome, thanks a lot !
