Part Number Cross-Reference
The following manufacturer references are associated with this repair-kit application in the available catalog data.
| Brand | Manufacturer Part Number | Application note |
|---|---|---|
| Suzuki | 17400-98661 | Water pump repair-kit reference |
| Suzuki | 17400-986L2 | Water pump repair-kit reference |
Engine Compatibility
Fitment depends on the exact model variant and serial-number range. The catalog evidence supports the applications below; it does not establish fitment for every DF4 or DF6 configuration.
| Brand | Model | Rated HP | Stroke | Documented years | Serial-number condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Suzuki | DF4 | 4 hp | 4-Stroke | 2003–2010 | Varies by model generation; verify the engine serial range |
| Suzuki | DF6 | 6 hp | 4-Stroke | 2003–2010 | Varies by model generation; verify the engine serial range |
Not confirmed: Suzuki DF5 fitment is not included because the available catalog evidence does not establish the same repair-kit relationship for DF5. Do not use this listing for DF5 unless your original part number and engine catalog specifically confirm the match.

What's in the Box
This listing is for one water pump repair kit. The available product records identify the product as a repair/service kit but do not provide a verified component-by-component quantity list. Refer to the product images and compare the supplied parts with the components removed from your engine before installation.
Important: A spark plug, fuel filter, protection anodes, or unrelated engine-maintenance parts are not identified as included components for this water pump repair kit and should not be assumed to be part of the package.
Installation Notes
- Confirm the engine model, year, serial-number range, and existing water-pump part number before disassembly.
- Disconnect the battery where applicable, remove the cowling, and secure the engine according to the manufacturer's service procedure.
- Remove the lower unit and water-pump components using the correct service manual for your engine.
- Inspect the water-pump housing, wear surfaces, drive key, water tube, and mating surfaces for corrosion or damage.
- Remove old gasket material and debris without damaging the sealing surfaces.
- Install the applicable components from the repair kit in the same locations as the removed parts.
- Use the manufacturer's torque specifications and the correct lubricant or assembly procedure for the impeller and housing.
- Reinstall the water pump and lower unit, ensuring that the driveshaft, shift mechanism, and water tube are correctly aligned.
- Test the outboard in an appropriate water supply and confirm a steady cooling-water tell-tale stream before normal operation.
Installation should be performed by a qualified technician when the required service manual, tools, or torque specifications are unavailable.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this kit fits my Suzuki outboard?
Check that your engine is a Suzuki DF4 or DF6 four-stroke model within the documented application range, then compare the engine serial number and original water-pump part number with the information in your service manual. Model name alone is not sufficient to confirm fitment.
Is DF5 fitment confirmed?
No. The available catalog evidence confirms selected DF4 and DF6 four-stroke applications, but it does not confirm the same repair-kit relationship for DF5. Do not order for DF5 without an exact part-number match.
What are common signs of a worn water-pump service assembly?
A weak or missing tell-tale stream, overheating, steam, or an overheating warning can indicate a cooling-system problem. Inspect the complete cooling system before replacing parts.
Does this kit include a spark plug, fuel filter, or anodes?
No such unrelated maintenance components are identified as included for this water pump repair kit. The package should be treated as a water-pump service kit only, subject to the supplied parts and product images.
Is this an OEM Suzuki part?
No. This is an aftermarket replacement associated with the listed Suzuki manufacturer part references.
Safety & Important Information
- Verify the exact engine model, stroke, year, serial-number range, and original part number before purchase.
- Do not rely on horsepower or model-family wording alone to establish fitment.
- Inspect the water-pump housing and related cooling-system components during installation.
- Never run the outboard without an adequate cooling-water supply.
- This is an aftermarket replacement and is not manufactured or endorsed by Suzuki.
