Troubleshooting & FAQ

Does this kit include the water pump housing?

No. The company product record identifies this as a 2-stroke water pump service kit supplied without housing. Inspect your existing housing and replace it separately if necessary.

Which Yamaha engines does this kit fit?

The listed application is Yamaha 2-stroke 6H4-code outboards in the 40–55 HP range: 40 HP models from 1984–1987 and 1992–1994, 48 HP models from 1995–2000, 50 HP models from 1984–1987 and 1992–1994, and 55 HP models from 1989–1995. Verify the complete model code and part-number requirement before ordering.

Will this fit a Yamaha F40, F50, or F60 four-stroke?

No compatibility claim is made for those four-stroke models. The exact product record specifies Yamaha 2-stroke 6H4-code applications only.

What are the symptoms of a worn water-pump impeller?

Common symptoms include a weak or absent tell-tale stream, overheating warnings, elevated operating temperature, or damaged, brittle, cracked, or missing impeller vanes. Stop operation if the engine overheats and diagnose the cooling system before continued use.

How often should the impeller be serviced?

Inspect and service the water pump according to the engine manufacturer's maintenance schedule and operating conditions. Saltwater, sand, silt, and extended storage can accelerate wear.

Is this an OEM Yamaha part?

This listing is for a replacement service kit. It is not represented as a genuine Yamaha-branded OEM part.

What should I check before ordering?

Match the engine brand, complete model designation, manufacturing year, 6H4 application code, stroke type, and required water-pump reference. Also confirm that you need a kit without housing.

What are your shipping speeds and costs?

Standard shipping is available to most regions. Delivery times and any expedited options are calculated and displayed at checkout based on the destination.
