Installation Notes

  1. Confirm the outboard model, year, horsepower, 6H4 code, and original water pump configuration before beginning work.
  2. Disconnect the battery and place the outboard in neutral.
  3. Remove the lower unit according to the manufacturer's service procedure, supporting it securely during removal.
  4. Remove the existing water pump housing and inspect the driveshaft, keyway, water tube, and mating surfaces.
  5. Clean away old gasket material and debris without damaging the sealing surfaces.
  6. Install the new water pump service components and housing in the correct order for the specific engine model.
  7. Install the impeller with the vanes oriented in the correct direction for driveshaft rotation.
  8. Reassemble the water pump and lower unit using the manufacturer's specified tightening sequence and torque values.
  9. Reconnect the shift linkage and water tube, then verify that the lower unit is securely mounted.
  10. Run the engine using the correct water supply procedure and confirm a strong cooling-water tell-tale stream before normal operation.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Inspect the water pump whenever the engine shows overheating symptoms, reduced tell-tale flow, or signs of cooling-system restriction. Replace the impeller and related service components when they are cracked, brittle, deformed, or excessively worn. Maintenance intervals depend on operating hours, storage conditions, and exposure to salt, sand, or silt.

How do I confirm that this kit fits my engine?

Check the engine model, year, horsepower, and 6H4 code against the compatibility table. Do not rely on horsepower alone because Yamaha applications can vary by model and production year.

Does this product include the water pump housing?

Yes. The company product record identifies this water pump service kit as a housing-included version.

What are common signs of a failing water pump?

Possible signs include overheating, weak or missing tell-tale flow, reduced cooling-water circulation, and visible impeller damage during inspection.

Why might the engine still overheat after installation?

Check impeller orientation, gasket alignment, water-tube engagement, intake passages, the tell-tale outlet, thermostat, and other cooling-system components. If the problem continues, stop operating the engine and have it inspected by a qualified marine technician.

Is this an OEM Yamaha part?

This listing is for a replacement water pump service kit. Yamaha and aftermarket numbers are shown only as reference numbers; the product should not be represented as a genuine Yamaha-manufactured part.

Safety & Important Information

  • Verify the complete engine model and 6H4 application before ordering.
  • Compare the original housing, impeller, gaskets, key, and mounting hardware with the supplied parts before installation.
  • Follow the manufacturer's service manual for removal, installation, torque values, lubrication, and testing.
  • Do not operate an outboard that is overheating or not producing a normal cooling-water tell-tale stream.
  • Professional installation is recommended when the correct application or installation procedure is uncertain.
