Product Details
This aftermarket water pump impeller kit is intended for service and replacement applications on selected Yamaha 150–300 HP outboard engines. It is designed to replace water-pump components associated with the Yamaha reference numbers listed below. Always compare the part number, pump design, engine model, year, and serial-number range with your service information before ordering.
The listed Yamaha reference numbers are 61A-W0078-A4-00, 61A-W0078-A3-00, and 61A-W0078-A2-00. Aftermarket cross-reference information may also identify Sierra 18-3396-1 and Mallory 9-48618; these references should be confirmed against the specific engine before installation.
- Installation location: Lower unit/gearcase water pump.
- Product type: Water pump impeller service kit with housing and related pump components.
- Construction: Pump housing is identified as nylon PA66 plastic.
- Application: Selected Yamaha 150–300 HP outboards; exact fitment depends on model, year, stroke, and serial number.
Part Number References
Use the following numbers as reference points when comparing the original water-pump assembly and your engine service documentation. A number match alone does not replace verification of the complete engine application.
| Brand | Part Number | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Yamaha | 61A-W0078-A4-00 | Listed replacement reference |
| Yamaha | 61A-W0078-A3-00 | Listed replacement reference |
| Yamaha | 61A-W0078-A2-00 | Listed replacement reference |
| Sierra | 18-3396-1 | Aftermarket cross-reference; verify application |
| Mallory | 9-48618 | Aftermarket cross-reference; verify application |
Engine Compatibility
This kit is listed for selected Yamaha outboards in the 150–300 HP range. Because Yamaha water-pump assemblies can vary by model, production year, stroke configuration, and serial-number range, do not rely on horsepower alone to confirm fitment.
| Brand | Listed horsepower range | Application status | Verification required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yamaha | 150–300 HP | Selected outboard applications | Model, year, stroke, and serial number |
Before purchase, compare the reference number and the original pump components with the engine owner's manual, service manual, or parts diagram. If the housing, insert, impeller, bolt pattern, or keyway differs, do not install the kit.

- Clean the mating surfaces and remove old gasket material, debris, and corrosion before assembly.
- Install the replacement gasket, wear or outer plate, cartridge insert, and related components in the correct order.
- Fit the new impeller onto the driveshaft with the Woodruff key fully seated. Confirm the impeller-vane orientation during housing installation.
- Install the housing and fasteners. Use the torque values and tightening sequence specified in the engine service manual.
- Reinstall the lower unit, ensuring correct alignment of the driveshaft, shift shaft, and water tube.
- Refill or check gearcase lubricant only as required by the manufacturer's service procedure.
- Run the engine using an appropriate water supply and confirm a steady tell-tale stream and normal cooling-system operation before returning the engine to service.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
Compare the listed Yamaha reference number and the complete pump assembly with your engine's service manual or parts diagram. Confirm the model, year, stroke configuration, and serial-number range. The 150–300 HP range alone is not sufficient to establish fitment.
What are common signs of a failing water pump?
Possible symptoms include overheating at idle or low speed, a weak or missing tell-tale stream, an engine-warning alarm, or steam from the cowling. Stop operation if the engine overheats and investigate the cooling system before further use.
How often should the impeller be replaced?
The service interval depends on the engine manufacturer, operating conditions, hours, and storage environment. Follow the maintenance schedule for your specific Yamaha engine and replace the impeller sooner if it has been run dry or shows wear, cracking, distortion, or hardening.
Is this a complete kit with the housing?
The product is listed as a water pump impeller kit with housing and related service components. Review the complete contents list above and compare it with your original assembly before ordering.
Is this an OEM part?
No. This listing is for an aftermarket replacement kit. Yamaha and other brand numbers shown on this page are reference numbers used for application comparison and are not a claim that the product is manufactured by Yamaha, Sierra, or Mallory.
What should I do if the supplied parts do not match?
Do not force the components into place or operate the engine. Stop installation and compare the parts with the engine service documentation and the original pump assembly before contacting support.
