Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this impeller fits my specific Yamaha outboard?
This impeller fits Yamaha 6A, P165, and 8A (6-8 HP) 2-stroke models. The most reliable way to confirm fitment is to check the OEM part number (655-44352-09-00) against your service manual or the part number on your existing impeller.
What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Common signs include a weak or intermittent water stream from the tell-tale outlet, engine overheating alerts, or a reduction in overall engine performance. Visible signs on the old impeller include cracked, brittle, or worn-down vanes.
How often should I replace my outboard's impeller?
As a preventative maintenance item, it is recommended to replace the impeller every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Usage in saltwater or sandy/silty conditions may require more frequent replacement.
Is the small metal key for installation included in this kit?
Yes, this kit includes both the neoprene impeller and the corresponding drive key required for installation on the driveshaft.
Can I install this impeller myself?
While many boat owners perform this maintenance task themselves with basic mechanical skills and tools, we recommend professional installation if you are not familiar with the procedure. Improper installation can lead to engine damage from overheating.
