Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this guide fits my specific Yamaha F115 model?
Check the compatibility table on this page. It lists specific models and year ranges (F115, F115LA, F115LB from 2006–2024). Always verify the OEM part number 6EK-44379-00-00 against your engine's parts diagram for a definitive match.
What are the signs of a worn or failed water tube guide?
A damaged or missing guide can lead to poor water tube alignment, causing reduced water flow to the powerhead. Symptoms include engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or intermittent tell-tale stream, and potential damage to the water pump impeller.
When should the water tube guide be replaced?
It is best practice to inspect and, if necessary, replace this guide during routine water pump or impeller service, which is typically recommended every 100 hours or at least once per year. Replace it immediately if it appears cracked, brittle, or deformed.
