Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this fits my engine?
First, check the compatibility tables on this page to see if your Suzuki engine model is listed. Next, compare the part numbers listed (17461-96312, 17461-96311, etc.) to the part number in your service manual or on the original impeller. Using our Suzuki Parts Diagrams & Catalog can also help verify the correct part.

What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
The most common sign is a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet port. Other indicators include the engine overheating alarm sounding or the engine running hotter than usual. A damaged impeller cannot effectively cool the engine, leading to serious damage if ignored.

How often should I replace the impeller?
For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years, depending on usage (hours) and water conditions (saltwater vs. freshwater). An impeller that has been sitting for a long period can also become brittle and should be replaced before use.
