Installation Guide
-
Disconnect the fuel line and remove the propeller for safety. Tilt the engine to a comfortable working position.
-
Remove the lower unit by unscrewing the mounting bolts that secure it to the mid-section. Gently separate the lower unit from the driveshaft.
-
Access the water pump housing by removing the pump cover plate or housing bolts. Take note of the order and orientation of components.
-
Remove the old impeller carefully; inspect the housing and wear plate for scoring or damage. Clean all surfaces thoroughly.
-
Lubricate the new impeller blades with a water-based lubricant or glycerin to prevent tearing during installation.
-
Insert the key/pin into the impeller hub slot, ensuring it is seated properly to engage the driveshaft.
-
Install the new impeller by rotating the blades in the correct direction (typically clockwise when viewed from above) as you slide it onto the driveshaft.
-
Reassemble the pump housing and cover plate, ensuring all O-rings and gaskets are correctly positioned. Replace worn gaskets as needed.
-
Reattach the lower unit to the mid-section, aligning the driveshaft and water tube carefully. Tighten mounting bolts to factory specifications.
-
Reinstall the propeller and reconnect the fuel line. Check all fasteners for proper torque.
-
Test the cooling system by running the engine in a test tank or on muffs; confirm water flows from the tell-tale indicator within 15 seconds.
-
Inspect for leaks around the pump housing and lower unit seals. Address any issues immediately before normal operation.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this impeller fits my Yamaha engine?
A: Check the compatibility table above for your engine model, HP, stroke type, and year range. You can also cross-reference the OEM part number (6L5-44352-00) with your engine's parts diagram or service manual to ensure proper fitment.

Q: What are the signs that my impeller is failing?
A: Common symptoms include reduced or no water flow from the tell-tale (pilot hole), engine overheating, steam from the powerhead, or an audible high-temperature alarm. Inspect the impeller immediately if any of these occur.
Q: Does this kit include the key/pin for the driveshaft?
A: Yes, this package includes both the rubber impeller and the key/pin required to secure it to the driveshaft.
