Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this impeller kit fits my engine?
The most reliable method is to match your engine's model, year, and serial number against our compatibility tables. Additionally, you can cross-reference the OEM part number found in your service manual with the numbers listed in our Part Number Matrix.
What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Common symptoms include a weak or intermittent water stream from the engine's tell-tale outlet, overheating alarms, or a noticeable drop in engine performance. A physical inspection will often reveal blades that are cracked, brittle, melted, or missing chunks.
How often should I replace the impeller?
As a preventative maintenance measure, we recommend inspecting the impeller annually and replacing it every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of use. Replacement frequency should be increased for engines operated in saltwater or sandy/silty conditions.
Is this part the same as the original OEM version?
This is an aftermarket part designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, material, and performance. It is made from high-quality neoprene and produced in an ISO 9002 certified facility, offering a reliable and cost-effective alternative to OEM parts.
