Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this impeller fits my Suzuki outboard?
A: Check the Compatible Engine Models table above to verify your engine model and year range. This impeller fits DT8C and DT9.9C models from 1988 to 1997. You can also cross-reference the OEM part numbers 17461-92D02, 17461-92D01, or 17461-92D00 with your engine's parts diagram.

Q: How often should I replace my water pump impeller?
A: Most manufacturers recommend replacing the impeller every 2–3 years or every 200–300 operating hours, whichever comes first. If you frequently operate in sandy or debris-filled water, consider more frequent replacement to prevent overheating.

Q: What are the signs that my impeller is failing?
A: Common symptoms include weak or no water flow from the tell-tale (indicator stream), engine overheating, steam from the engine, or the temperature warning alarm activating. If you notice any of these signs, inspect and replace the impeller immediately.

Q: Why is the drive key included in this kit?
A: The drive key (09420-03005) connects the impeller to the driveshaft and can wear or break during impeller removal. Including a new key ensures reliable engagement and prevents installation issues or future failures.
