- Install the correct key separately if the original key is serviceable or a replacement key has been obtained.
- Fit the new impeller onto the driveshaft and rotate it in the correct direction while seating the vanes in the housing.

- Run the engine only with an adequate water supply and confirm a strong tell-tale stream. Stop immediately if the engine overheats or water flow is abnormal.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm that this impeller fits my Yamaha engine?
Match the complete Yamaha model designation, horsepower, stroke type, year, and serial-number range with your service information. Also compare the existing impeller dimensions and the OEM reference 6H4-44352-02-00. The catalog evidence supports selected 2-stroke applications; it does not confirm every Yamaha 25–50 HP engine.
What are the signs of a failing water-pump impeller?
Common signs include a weak or intermittent tell-tale stream, overheating at low speed, an overheat alarm, or no visible cooling-water discharge. Shut down the engine if overheating is suspected and inspect the complete water-pump assembly.
Is the impeller key included?
No. This listing is for one impeller. The key is a separate service component and should be reused only if it is in good condition and matches the engine’s specification.
Do I need to replace the gaskets at the same time?
Inspect all water-pump gaskets, seals, the wear plate, and the housing during installation. Replace damaged, hardened, or worn parts as required by the service manual. These additional parts are not included with this impeller.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part. Yamaha and Sierra references are provided for identification and compatibility purposes only. It is not manufactured by Yamaha or Sierra.
How often should a water-pump impeller be inspected?
Follow the maintenance schedule for your specific outboard. Inspect the impeller during scheduled water-pump service and replace it sooner if the engine has been operated in saltwater, sand, silt, or other abrasive conditions.
Safety & Important Information
- Verify the complete engine model, year, stroke type, and serial-number range before ordering.
- Do not operate the outboard without an adequate water supply.
- Inspect the complete water-pump assembly during installation; a new impeller cannot correct damage to the housing, wear plate, seals, or water tube.
- Professional installation is recommended if you are not familiar with outboard lower-unit service.
- This is an aftermarket replacement component, not an OEM Yamaha part.
