Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
First, check your engine's model and year against the "Compatible Engine Models" table. Second, verify your existing part numbers match those in the "Part Number Cross-Reference" list. If you are unsure, use the linked Yamaha guides to find your serial number and check original part diagrams.
What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Common symptoms include the engine overheating, an intermittent or weak water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, or a visible crack or damage on the impeller vanes during inspection.
How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
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, depending on operating conditions (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater).
