- Remove the old wear plate and gaskets, then thoroughly clean all mating surfaces.
- Install the new lower gasket and wear plate.
- Place the new woodruff key in its slot on the driveshaft and slide the new impeller on, rotating the driveshaft clockwise to seat the vanes.
- Install the new insert cartridge and gasket into the pump housing.
- Slide the new housing assembly over the impeller and secure it with the bolts, tightening to the manufacturer's specified torque.
- Carefully guide the driveshaft back into the powerhead while reattaching the lower unit.
- Reconnect the battery, start the engine in water, and confirm a steady stream of water from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
A: This kit is designed for specific Yamaha 25-30 HP models (1984-1997) and Mariner 20-30 HP models requiring a 6A9 or 684 serial number prefix. Please carefully review the "Compatible Engine Models" table and cross-reference your engine's model, year, and serial number before purchasing to ensure a correct fit.
Q: What are the signs my water pump impeller needs replacement?
A: The most common signs of a failing impeller are engine overheating alarms, a weak or inconsistent water stream from the tell-tale outlet, or a complete lack of water flow. Upon inspection, a worn impeller may have brittle, cracked, or broken vanes.
Q: How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
A: As a crucial part of preventative maintenance, we recommend inspecting the impeller annually and replacing the entire water pump kit every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation. Replacement frequency may vary based on usage (saltwater vs. freshwater) and operating conditions.
Q: Is this a complete kit with the housing included?
A: Yes, this is a comprehensive repair kit. It includes the water pump housing, impeller, wear plate, insert cartridge, woodruff key, and all necessary gaskets, seals, and bolts as detailed in the "Package Contents" list.
