Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this impeller fits my engine?
A: First, check your engine's model, horsepower, and year against our "Compatible Engine Models" table. Next, cross-reference your existing part number with the numbers listed in the "Part Number Cross-Reference" section. For a final check, you can compare the physical dimensions (Shaft size: 17.1 mm, Overall diameter: 51.8 mm) with your old part.

Q: What are the symptoms of a bad water pump impeller?
A: Common signs of failure include the engine overheating, a weak or intermittent water stream from the tell-tale outlet, or a complete lack of water flow. Upon inspection, you might find the old impeller's blades are cracked, brittle, melted, or have broken off.

Q: How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
A: As a general rule, it is recommended to replace your outboard's impeller every 1 to 2 years, or every 100-200 hours of operation. Frequent use in sandy, silty, or saltwater environments may require more frequent changes.
