Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
First, check our Part Number Cross-Reference table to see if your old part number is listed. Next, review the Compatible Engine Models table to ensure your specific Yamaha model and year range are included. Using our linked Yamaha Serial Number Guide can help you verify your engine details.
What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Common signs include the engine overheating, a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, or an audible alarm from the engine's warning system. Cracks, stiffness, or missing fins on the old impeller are also clear indicators that a replacement is needed.
How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
For preventative maintenance, we recommend replacing the impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, depending on operating conditions. Frequent use in saltwater or sandy/murky water may require more frequent inspections and replacements.
