Troubleshooting & FAQ

Which engines does this kit fit?

It is designed for Mercury/Mariner 4-6 HP 4-Stroke EFI outboards (2015+) with serial numbers 0R411838 and up. It is also made to fit compatible Tohatsu MFS4, MFS5, and MFS6 4-Stroke models.

How do I confirm this is the right part?

For Mercury/Mariner, match your engine's serial number to the specified range (0R411838 and above). For all engines, we strongly recommend visually comparing your old parts to the photos in this listing before ordering.

What are the signs of a bad water pump impeller?

Common symptoms include a weak or non-existent water stream from the telltale outlet, engine overheating alarms, steam from the exhaust, and reduced overall engine performance.

How often should I service the water pump?

For preventative maintenance, it is best practice to replace the impeller and gaskets every 100-200 hours of use or at least once per year, whichever comes first. Service intervals should be shorter if operating in saltwater or debris-heavy water.
