- Remove the old impeller, gaskets, seals, and plates. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly.
- Install the new components from the kit in the reverse order of removal.
- Crucially, lubricate the new impeller and insert cup with silicone grease, glycerin, or dish soap to prevent damage during the first dry start. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants.

- Reinstall the lower unit, refill the gear lube, and reconnect the battery.
- Start the engine in water and verify a steady stream of water from the tell-tale port.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this kit fits my engine?
The surest way is to match your engine's model number and year to our compatibility table. While this kit is known to fit Yamaha 40 and 50 HP 2-stroke outboards from 1984–1994, slight variations can exist. Always verify your specific model is listed.
What are the signs of a failing water pump?
Common signs include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, or a brittle, cracked, or melted impeller upon inspection.
How often should the water pump impeller be replaced?
As a preventative maintenance measure, it is recommended to replace your water pump impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation, depending on usage conditions (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater).
What is the difference between the various Yamaha part numbers?
The different Yamaha numbers (6H4-W0078-00-00, 6H4-W0078-01-00, 6H4-W0078-A0-00) represent supersessions, where the manufacturer has updated the part over time. This aftermarket kit is designed to replace all of these versions.
Do I need special tools for installation?
Standard mechanic’s tools (socket set, screwdrivers) are generally sufficient. However, a torque wrench is recommended for proper reassembly. You will also need to supply your own lubricant (silicone grease, glycerin, or dish soap), which is not included.
Is this an OEM part or an aftermarket replacement?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It is built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials and manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, with batch inspections for consistency.
What are the shipping speed and cost?
We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit is 5–15 days. Standard shipping is free; expedited options appear at checkout where available.
What is the warranty and return policy?
This part is covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If issues arise, contact support with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard window for unused items in their original condition. Please see our policy page or reach out for instructions.
