Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this gasket fits my engine?

The surest method is to match your existing part number to the ones listed in our Part Number Matrix (Parsun PAF8-04000006, Tohatsu 3B2-65029-0, etc.). You can also check your engine model against the compatibility table provided. When in doubt, compare our product photos to your old part.

What are the signs of a failing water pump gasket?

Common symptoms include the engine overheating, a weak or non-existent stream of water from the tell-tale port, or visible water leaks around the water pump housing seam on the lower unit.

When should I replace my water pump gasket?

It is best practice to replace the water pump gasket whenever you service the water pump or replace the impeller. A typical service interval is every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation, depending on use and water conditions (saltwater vs. freshwater).

Can I reuse my old gasket if it looks okay?

No. Gaskets are single-use components that compress to create a seal. Reusing an old gasket will likely result in a poor seal, leading to leaks and potential engine overheating.

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.
