Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this kit fits my Yamaha outboard?

This kit is designed for specific Yamaha 4-stroke models (F75, F90, F115, LF115, VF115) from 2004 and newer. It may also fit some F50 models. Always check the "Engine & Model Compatibility" table and compare your engine's model/serial number before ordering. Note that this kit does not fit 115B models.

What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?

Common symptoms include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or intermittent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, and a dry, cracked, or brittle impeller with a set-in-blades shape upon inspection.

How often should the water pump impeller be replaced?

For preventative maintenance, we recommend inspecting and/or replacing the impeller every 100-200 operating hours or at least once a year, whichever comes first. Replacement is especially critical if operating in saltwater or sandy/silty conditions.

Is this a complete kit? Do I need to buy other parts?

Yes, this is a comprehensive kit that includes the housing, impeller, face plate, insert cup, gaskets, o-rings, bolts, and dowel pins required for a standard replacement. Refer to the "What’s in the Box" section for a full list of contents.

What's the difference between Yamaha part 68V-W0078-00-00 and 68V-W0078-01-00?

Part number 68V-W0078-01-00 is the direct supersession for 68V-W0078-00-00. They are functionally identical, and this kit is a confirmed replacement for both OEM part numbers.

Does this kit fit my F50? The compatibility seems unclear.

While some sources indicate compatibility with Yamaha F50 models from 2004 onwards, this can vary between specific engine serial numbers. We strongly recommend you physically inspect your existing water pump or consult your service manual to confirm part numbers before ordering for an F50 engine.

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.

Shipping speed & cost?
