How to Identify Your 280–435 HP Model

  • Locate the engine identification plate on the cylinder block or top cover; note the complete model (e.g., D6‑435) and serial number.
  • Decode suffix letters/numbers to confirm installation type (inboard vs sterndrive), control system generation, and emissions revision.
  • Confirm the drive package: shaft/inboard or DPH/DPG sterndrive; cooling, exhaust elbows, and anode sets can differ by installation.
  • For 4‑stroke diesels, record fuel system details and heat‑exchanger/thermostat style to match the correct service parts.

FAQs

Are parts interchangeable between different years or installations?

Many routine service items are shared, but exhaust elbows, anodes, cooling components, and sterndrive parts often change with installation type and serial number. Always verify your full model and serial.

When should I replace the seawater pump impeller?

Replace the impeller annually or every 200 hours, whichever comes first. Boats operating in sandy or silty water may require shorter intervals.

How often should sterndrive gear oil be changed?

Change gear oil every 100 hours or annually. If oil appears milky or contains metal shavings, diagnose seals and bearings before further use.

What information helps confirm part compatibility?

Provide the complete engine model, serial number, drive model (if sterndrive), and clear photos of the ID plate and the part you’re replacing.
