Installation Guide
-
Safety First: Before starting, disconnect the battery and ensure the engine is turned off and in neutral.
-
Access the Lower Unit: Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the engine's upper casing. Carefully separate the lower unit.
-
Locate the Water Pump: The water pump housing is typically located on top of the lower unit, surrounding the driveshaft.
-
Remove the Housing: Unscrew the bolts holding the water pump housing cover in place and lift it off.
-
Inspect and Remove Old Impeller: Take note of the old impeller's orientation. Remove it from the driveshaft, using pliers if necessary. Clean any debris from the housing.
-
Install New Impeller: Lightly lubricate the new impeller and the inside of the housing with marine grease. Slide the new impeller onto the driveshaft, rotating the shaft in its normal direction of operation to ease the blades into the housing.
-
Reassemble: Replace the housing cover, ensuring any gaskets or seals are correctly positioned. Reattach the lower unit to the engine, making sure the driveshaft and water tube align properly.
-
Test Operation: Reconnect the battery. Start the engine in a test tank or with a water supply attached to the lower unit to verify that water is successfully pumping from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this impeller fits my specific engine?
A: Please check the "Compatible Engine Models" table on this page. For Yamaha, you can use the provided serial number guide and parts catalog links to verify the OEM part number (6L5-44352-00-00 or 6L5-44352-01-00) against your engine's official diagram.
Q: What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
A: Common signs include the engine overheating, a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, and visible cracks or damage on the impeller blades upon inspection.
Q: How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
A: As a preventative maintenance measure, it is recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years, or more frequently if you operate in saltwater or sandy/silty conditions.
