Installation Guide
- Disconnect the negative battery cable and remove the engine cover.
- Loosen the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) and carefully let it slide down.
- Unscrew the bolts on the water pump housing cover to access the impeller.
- Take note of the old impeller's vane direction before carefully prying it out.
- Clean the housing interior and mating surfaces, removing any old gasket material or debris.
- Install the new gasket, wear plate, and impeller, ensuring the impeller key is aligned.
- Rotate the driveshaft clockwise while pushing the housing down to seat the impeller vanes correctly.
- Secure the housing with its bolts and re-attach the lower unit to the engine.
- Once assembled, use a water source (flushing muffs) to test for a strong water stream from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
A: This kit is specified for Yamaha F50A models from 1991-2007. The best way to ensure compatibility is to verify your original part number against our cross-reference list (6BG-W0078-00-00, 6BG-W0078-01-00). You can also use the official Yamaha guides linked above to identify your exact model and required parts.
Q: What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
A: Key symptoms include the engine overheating, a weak or inconsistent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, or a melted water pump housing. Upon inspection, a worn impeller may have brittle, cracked, or missing vanes.
Q: How often should I replace the impeller?
A: As a general rule for preventative maintenance, we recommend replacing the impeller every 1 to 2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation. More frequent replacement may be necessary if you operate in sandy, silty, or saltwater conditions.
Q: OEM vs. Aftermarket?
A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.
Q: How fast do you ship and how much does it cost?
A: We offer fast global shipping—typically 5–15 days worldwide—and standard shipping is free. Expedited options are available at checkout depending on your location.
Q: What is your warranty and return policy?
A: This product includes a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If something goes wrong, contact our support team with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard return window (unused & in original condition); please see our policy page or reach out for instructions.
