Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my Yamaha engine?
A: Check your engine's model, horsepower, and year against the "Compatible Engine Models" table. For Yamaha, we recommend using the serial number guide linked above to be certain. This kit is for specific 4HP and 5HP models produced between 1984 and 2008.
Q: My Mariner has a 6E0 serial number. Will this fit?
A: Yes, this kit is designed for Mariner 4A models with a "6E0" serial number and 5C models with a "6E3" serial number. Always verify compatibility using your specific model information, as year ranges can vary.
Q: How often should I replace my water pump impeller?
A: For optimal performance and engine safety, we recommend inspecting the impeller annually and replacing the entire water pump kit every 2-3 years or 200-300 hours of use, whichever comes first, especially if operating in saltwater or sandy conditions.
