Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
Verify your engine is a Yamaha F40 (models 6CY1 to 6CY7) or F70 (models 6CJ1 to 6CJ7) from the years 2011–2016. You can also cross-reference your existing part number with the OEM numbers 6CJ-W0078-00-00 or 6CJ-W0078-01-00.
What are the signs that my water pump impeller needs replacement?
Common signs include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or non-existent water stream from the tell-tale outlet, or visible damage such as cracked, brittle, or missing vanes on the impeller upon inspection.
How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
For optimal engine protection, it is recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, whichever comes first. Usage in saltwater or silty/sandy water may require more frequent replacement.
