Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this impeller fits my engine?
This impeller is a direct fit for Suzuki DF2.5 4-stroke outboards from 2006–2011. It also cross-references to Johnson/Evinrude 5037429, but you must verify your specific model. Always check the Part Number Matrix and Engine Compatibility table before ordering.
What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Common signs include a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, engine overheating alarms, and reduced engine performance.
How often should I replace my impeller?
For optimal reliability, it's recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use, depending on operating conditions (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater).
Is this impeller made of the same material as the OEM part?
This impeller is made from a high-quality neoprene rubber compound with a hardened nylon hub, designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications for durability and performance.
The compatibility list mentions 2006–2011, but I've seen 2003+ mentioned elsewhere. Which is correct?
While our primary data confirms fitment for 2006–2011 Suzuki DF2.5 models, some sources suggest it also fits models from 2003 onwards. We recommend verifying the part number (17461-97JM0) for your specific engine year before purchasing to ensure perfect fitment.
