Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my Yamaha engine?
A: First, verify your engine's model, year, and horsepower are listed in the "Compatible Engine Models" table. For Yamaha owners, you can use the official Yamaha Serial Number Guide to find your details. This kit replaces OEM part numbers 6CJ-W0078-00, 6CJ-W0078-01, and 6CJ-W0078-02, so cross-referencing with your service manual is the best way to ensure a match.
Q: What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
A: The most common symptom is engine overheating, often triggered by an alarm. You may also notice a weak or nonexistent stream of water from the engine's "tell-tale" outlet. Unusual grinding or rattling noises from the lower unit can also indicate a worn or damaged impeller.
Q: How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
A: As a general rule 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. This interval may be shorter if you frequently operate in sandy or silty water.
