Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this kit fits my Yamaha outboard?
Check your engine model and year against the compatibility table. This kit is specifically for Yamaha F15C (2006–2023) and F20 (2006–2021) models. Verifying the OEM part number 6AH-W0078-00-00 or 6AH-W0078-02-00 also confirms a match.
What are the signs of a failing water pump?
Common symptoms include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or non-existent water stream from the telltale outlet, and a noticeably brittle, cracked, or worn impeller upon physical inspection.
How often should the water pump be serviced?
For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace the entire water pump kit every 2-3 years or 200-300 hours of use, whichever comes first. This interval can be shorter in saltwater or high-debris environments.
Is this the same as the 6AH-W0078-02-00 kit?
Yes, this kit is a direct aftermarket replacement for both OEM part numbers 6AH-W0078-00-00 and its updated counterpart, 6AH-W0078-02-00. The contents are designed to be identical for a proper fit.
Does this kit include a new housing?
Yes, this is a complete repair kit that includes the main water pump housing (6AH-44311-00-00) along with the impeller, cartridge, plates, O-ring, and all necessary hardware for a full overhaul.
What is the most critical part of the installation?
Ensuring the Woodruff key is properly seated on the driveshaft flat spot before sliding on the new impeller is critical. Additionally, when sliding the housing down, be sure to turn the driveshaft clockwise to correctly flex the impeller vanes without damaging them.
