Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How can I be sure this kit will fit my Yamaha engine?
A: The best way to ensure compatibility is to verify your engine's model and year against the "Compatible Engine Models" table. Additionally, you can cross-reference your existing part number with those listed in the "Part Number Cross-Reference" section.
Q: What are the symptoms of a failing water pump impeller?
A: Common signs include the engine overheating at low speeds, a weak or non-existent "telltale" water stream, or a dry, cracked, or deformed old impeller upon inspection.
Q: How often should the impeller be replaced?
A: As a general maintenance guideline, we recommend replacing the impeller every 1 to 2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation, depending on usage conditions (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater).
