Installation Guide
-
Safety First: Disconnect the spark plug leads and the battery cables to prevent accidental starting.
-
Access the Lower Unit: Shift the outboard into neutral and remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the engine's upper section.
-
Remove the Lower Unit: Carefully lower the gearcase away from the upper housing. The driveshaft will slide out.
-
Disassemble the Water Pump: Unscrew the bolts holding the water pump housing cover. Lift the cover off to expose the impeller.
-
Remove Old Components: Take note of the impeller's rotational direction. Remove the old impeller, impeller key, gaskets, and wear plate.
-
Clean and Inspect: Thoroughly clean all surfaces, removing any old gasket material or debris. Inspect the housing for cracks or warping.
-
Install New Parts: Place the new gasket and impeller plate onto the gearcase. Install the impeller key into the driveshaft.
-
Install New Impeller: Slide the new impeller down the driveshaft while turning the shaft clockwise to bed the vanes correctly inside the housing cup.
-
Reassemble the Pump: Place the housing cup over the impeller and reinstall the housing cover, tightening the bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque.
-
Reattach Lower Unit: Guide the driveshaft back into the engine and reinstall the lower unit. Tighten all mounting bolts securely.
-
Test Operation: Reconnect the spark plugs and battery. Start the engine in a test tank or with a water source attached to ensure a strong water stream from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my Yamaha engine?
A: First, check the "Compatible Engine Models" table to ensure your engine's model and year range are listed. This kit is specifically for Yamaha 2-Stroke 4HP/5HP (1988–2019) and 4-Stroke F4/F5/F6 (1998–2011) 1-cylinder models. Second, verify your current part number matches one of the numbers in the cross-reference list, such as 6E0-W0078-A2-00.
Q: What are the signs my water pump impeller is failing?
A: The most common signs are the engine overheating, an alarm sounding (if equipped), or a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" cooling system outlet. Upon inspection, a failing impeller may be cracked, brittle, or have broken vanes.
Q: How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
A: For preventative maintenance, it is best practice to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation. Replacement frequency depends on usage and water conditions (e.g., saltwater and sandy/silty water cause more wear).
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.
