Reattach Lower Unit: Reconnect the lower unit to the engine, aligning the driveshaft, shift shaft, and water tube. Secure with bolts.
-
Test: Reconnect the spark plug lead. Using a flush attachment, run the engine and verify a steady stream of water from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this fits my engine?
A: This kit is specifically for Suzuki DF4, DF5, and DF6 4-stroke outboards from 2002-2016. Please verify your engine model and year against the "Compatible Engine Models" table. Additionally, check that your existing part number is listed in the "Part Number Cross-Reference" section to ensure a match.
Q: What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?

Q: How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
A: As part of preventative maintenance, we recommend replacing the impeller every 100-200 hours of operation or every 1-2 years, whichever comes first. Service intervals should be shorter if operating in saltwater or silty conditions.
