Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this pump fits my specific engine?

This pump is designed for the Yanmar 6LY3 series. The best way to confirm fitment is to match your existing part number to the ones listed in our Part Number Matrix (Yanmar 119578-42501, Johnson 10-13286-01, JMP JPR-YM06LY3). Also, check your engine model against the compatibility table provided on this page.

What are the signs of a failing water pump?

Common signs include engine overheating, visible water leaks from the pump housing or weep hole, a wobbly serpentine belt pulley, or unusual grinding/squealing noises from the pump area. Reduced water flow from the exhaust outlet is another key indicator.

How often should the impeller and service kits be used?

Impeller life varies based on usage, water conditions, and winterization. It is best practice to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years or every 200-300 hours of operation as preventative maintenance. The compatible JMP impeller is 7376-01. Major service kits (like JSK0127) should be used if you notice leaks or reduced performance.

Can I use OEM Yanmar service parts on this aftermarket pump?

Yes, this pump is designed to be compatible with both OEM and aftermarket service components. The JMP service kits (JSK0127, JSM0127) and impeller (7376-01 or OEM 119578-42550) are direct fits for both this pump and the original Yanmar pump.

Is this a self-priming pump?

Yes, marine raw water pumps of this design are typically flexible impeller pumps, which are self-priming. However, it's always good practice to ensure the system is properly primed after installation to prevent dry running, which can damage the impeller quickly.

What is the difference between this pump and the OEM version?

This is a high-quality aftermarket pump built to meet or exceed OEM specifications. The primary difference is the manufacturer; it is not made by Yanmar. It offers a cost-effective solution without compromising on materials (like the bronze housing) or performance.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

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?

We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit 5–15 days. Standard shipping is free; expedited options appear at checkout where available.

Warranty & returns?

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 (unused & in original condition). See our policy page or reach out for instructions.
