Installation Guide
-
Disconnect the Battery: Ensure the engine is off and disconnect the battery terminals to prevent accidental starting.
-
Remove the Lower Unit: Drain the gearcase oil, then unbolt and carefully lower the gearcase (lower unit) from the outboard's midsection.
-
Access the Water Pump: With the lower unit removed, locate and unbolt the water pump housing to expose the old impeller and components.
-
Inspect and Clean: Remove the old impeller, key, gaskets, and plates. Thoroughly clean all mounting surfaces and inspect the housing for cracks or warping.
-
Install New Components: Assemble the new kit. Install the wear plate, gasket, impeller key, and the new impeller (turn the driveshaft clockwise to seat the fins). Place the pump cup and new housing on top.
-
Reassemble and Test: Secure the new housing with the provided bolts. Reattach the lower unit to the outboard, refill the gearcase oil, and reconnect the battery. Start the engine and confirm a steady stream of water from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How can I confirm this kit will fit my specific Yamaha engine?
A: First, check your engine's model, HP, and year against the "Compatible Engine Models" table above. For definitive confirmation, we recommend using the Yamaha Serial Number Guide linked above to identify your exact model and then cross-reference the OEM part number (61A-W0078-A3-00) with your engine's parts diagram.
Q: What are the common signs that a water pump impeller needs to be replaced?
A: The most common symptoms of a failing impeller are a weak or inconsistent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, or your engine overheating at low or high speeds. Regular inspection is recommended.
Q: How often should I replace my water pump impeller?
A: As a general maintenance rule, it is best to replace the impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation, whichever comes first. This can vary depending on usage conditions (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater, sandy/silty water).
Q: OEM vs. Aftermarket?
A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.
Q: How fast do you ship and how much does it cost?
A: We offer fast global shipping—typically 5–15 days worldwide—and standard shipping is free. Expedited options are available at checkout depending on your location.
Q: What is your warranty and return policy?
A: This product includes a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If something goes wrong, contact our support team with your order details.
