Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
First, check the "Compatible Engine Models" table on this page. For Yamaha engines, the best way to confirm is by using your engine's model and serial number. We provide a link to a Yamaha Serial Number Guide to help you find this information.
What are the signs my water pump impeller needs replacing?
Common signs of a failing impeller include a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, engine overheating alarms, or a noticeable decrease in engine performance. Visible cracks, missing vanes, or brittleness on the old impeller during inspection also indicate it's time for replacement.
How often should I replace the water pump kit?
For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace the entire water pump kit every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, depending on operating conditions (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater).
