Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this impeller fits my Suzuki outboard?
A: Cross-reference your engine model and year with the compatibility table above. You can also verify the OEM part number (17461-98501, 17461-98502, or 17461-98503) using the Suzuki parts diagrams linked in the compatibility section.

Q: How often should I replace my water pump impeller?
