Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this impeller fits my Suzuki engine?
A: The best method is to match the OEM part number (17461-94700, 17461-94701, etc.) from your engine's service manual or existing part with our cross-reference list. While our compatibility table is accurate, verifying the part number ensures a perfect fit, especially for older models or those noted as compatible via secondary sources.

Q: What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
A: Common signs include a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, engine overheating alarms, and a noticeable decrease in engine performance. A worn or damaged impeller cannot effectively cool the engine.

Q: How often should I replace my outboard's 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). Frequent use in sandy or silty water may require more frequent replacement.
