Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my Yamaha outboard?
A: This kit is designed for Yamaha 40, 50, and 60 HP outboards (1997-current). Please check the detailed "Compatible Engine Models" table and cross-reference your engine's model and year. Verifying the OEM part number (63D-W0078-01-00) against your current part is the most reliable method.

A: Common signs include the engine overheating, a weak or inconsistent "telltale" water stream, or a dry, cracked, or brittle appearance of the old impeller upon inspection.
Q: How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
A: For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, depending on operating conditions (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater).
