  • Includes the impeller and the required drive key.
  • Cross-references the Suzuki part numbers listed below.
  • Suitable for routine water-pump service and impeller replacement.

  6. Reassemble the water-pump housing and lower unit using the manufacturer’s specified tightening procedures.
  7. After installation, run the engine in a safe water supply and confirm a normal cooling-water tell-tale stream and operating temperature.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm that this impeller fits my engine?

Confirm that your outboard is a Suzuki DF2.5 4-stroke from 2003 or newer, then compare the engine’s complete model and serial information with your service documentation. You can also compare the old part with the manufacturer reference numbers listed in the Part Number Matrix.

What are common signs of a worn impeller?

Possible symptoms include a weak or missing tell-tale stream, overheating, reduced cooling performance, cracked or brittle rubber, permanently deformed vanes, or broken impeller material. Inspect the complete water pump when replacing the impeller.

Does this product include the drive key?

Yes. This product is supplied as one water pump impeller with one drive key.

Should the gaskets and seals also be replaced?

Inspect all gaskets, seals, and O-rings during water-pump service. Replace any component that is damaged, compressed, hardened, or no longer seals correctly. This listing contains the impeller and key only unless otherwise stated.

Can I install the impeller myself?

Installation requires removal of the lower unit and access to the water-pump housing. Follow the service manual for your exact engine. If you are not familiar with outboard lower-unit service, professional installation is recommended.

Is this an OEM Suzuki part?

This listing is for a replacement impeller with key. Suzuki reference numbers are provided for identification and compatibility comparison; the product should not be represented as a genuine Suzuki-branded component.

Safety & Important Information

  • Verify the engine model, year, serial information, and original part before ordering.
  • Do not operate the outboard without an adequate water supply after service.
  • Inspect the complete water-pump assembly if the previous impeller failed or shed rubber fragments.
  • Professional installation is recommended when lower-unit removal or cooling-system service is unfamiliar.
