Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this fits my engine?
Verify your engine's model and year in the "Compatible Engine Models" table. This kit is a direct replacement for OEM part number 6AH-W0078-00-00 and fits a wide range of Yamaha F9.9 to F20 models. Cross-referencing your existing part number is the best way to ensure a correct fit.
What are the signs of a failing water pump?
Common symptoms include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or intermittent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, or an alarm from your engine's warning system. Visible cracks, missing vanes, or brittleness on the old impeller are clear indicators for replacement.
How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
For preventative maintenance, we recommend inspecting the impeller annually and replacing it every 1-2 years or 100-200 hours of operation. Service intervals should be shorter if operating frequently in saltwater, or shallow, sandy/silty water.
