Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the battery and remove the lower unit from the outboard motor.
  2. Locate and unbolt the water pump housing to access the impeller.
  3. Carefully inspect the housing and wear plate for scoring or distortion; replace them if significant wear is found.
  4. Remove the old impeller, noting the original orientation of the blades.
  5. Clean all mating surfaces and install the new woodruff key on the driveshaft.
  6. Slide the new impeller onto the driveshaft, rotating it clockwise to pre-load the blades correctly within the housing.
  7. Apply a thin layer of marine-grade grease or soap-water solution to the inside of the pump cup to ease installation.
  8. Securely fasten the water pump housing back in place.
  9. Reassemble the lower unit, reconnect the battery, and test the engine in a suitable water source, confirming a strong water stream from the tell-tale outlet.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this impeller fits my Suzuki engine?

This impeller is a direct replacement for Suzuki DF2.5 (2003+) engines requiring part numbers 17461-97JM0, 17461-97J00, or 17461-97110. While it is listed as compatible with higher HP models that use part 17461-90J01, you should always compare the dimensions (Shaft: 10.2mm, OD: 33.5mm, Thickness: 14.4mm) with your old part before installing.

What are the signs of a bad water pump impeller?

Common symptoms of a failing impeller include a weak or non-existent water stream from the engine's tell-tale outlet, engine overheating alarms, or steam from the exhaust. It's a critical cooling component that should be inspected regularly.

How often should I replace my outboard's impeller?

As a general maintenance rule, it is recommended to inspect your water pump impeller annually and replace it every 1–2 years or every 100–200 hours of operation, depending on usage conditions (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater, sandy/silty water).

Do I need to lubricate the impeller during installation?

Yes, applying a small amount of water-based lubricant, such as marine grease or a dish soap solution, to the inside of the pump housing will help the new impeller slide into place without damaging the blades.

Why is this impeller listed for both a 2.5 HP and a 175 HP Suzuki?

The primary fitment is for the Suzuki DF2.5. However, cross-reference data indicates this impeller's dimensions make it a compatible service replacement for part number 17461-90J01, used in a range of larger Suzuki 4-stroke engines (DF100–DF175). For these higher HP models, always verify measurements against your original part before purchase.

What is the difference between an OEM part and an aftermarket one?

This listing is for an aftermarket replacement part, not an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component.

Our parts are manufactured in an ISO 9002 certified facility and undergo batch-inspections to ensure quality and consistency.

How fast do you ship and what does it cost?

We provide fast worldwide shipping, with a typical transit time of 5–15 days for most regions. Standard shipping is free. Expedited shipping options, where available, will be presented at checkout for an additional fee.
