- Unbolt and remove the old pump housing cover and components. Note their orientation.
- Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly, removing old gasket material and debris.
- Install the new gasket, plates, impeller, and key from the kit. Ensure the impeller vanes are oriented correctly (typically clockwise).
- Install the new cartridge insert and O-ring.
- Fasten the new pump housing cover, tightening bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque.
- Reinstall the lower unit, ensuring the driveshaft and water tube align correctly.
- Reconnect the battery and test the engine using a water supply (flushing muffs) to verify proper cooling.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
A: The best way to ensure fitment is to check your engine's model and year against the compatibility tables above. We also recommend using the Yamaha Serial Number Guide linked above to verify your details precisely.
Q: What is the difference between this kit (replaces Sierra 18-3434) and the Sierra 18-3415 kit?
A: This kit (18-3434) contains all the core components for a water pump rebuild, including the impeller, wear plate, and gaskets. It does not include the main water pump housing. The Sierra 18-3415 kit is a larger assembly that typically includes the housing itself.
Q: What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
A: Common signs include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, and a weak or nonexistent stream of water from the "tell-tale" outlet. Visible damage to the old impeller, such as cracked or missing vanes, also indicates it's time for a replacement.
Q: How often should I replace my water pump impeller?
A: As a general rule, impellers should be inspected annually and replaced every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, whichever comes first. This interval can be shorter if you operate in saltwater or sandy/silty 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.
