Installation Notes

- Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the midsection. Carefully lower and separate the unit.
- Locate the water pump housing on top of the gearcase. Unbolt and lift the housing to expose the impeller.
- Thoroughly clean and inspect the housing, wear plate, and base for scoring, warping, or corrosion. Replace if damage is found.
- Remove the old impeller, woodruff key, gaskets, and seals. Note their orientation.
- Install the new seals, o-rings, and gaskets. Lightly grease where appropriate.
- Slide the new woodruff key into the driveshaft slot and install the new impeller, turning the shaft clockwise to bed the vanes.
- Reinstall the water pump housing and torque its bolts to the manufacturer's specification.
- Reinstall the lower unit, ensuring the water tube, shift shaft, and driveshaft align correctly.
- Refill the gearcase with fresh marine gear lubricant and reinstall the drain screw with a new gasket.
- Reconnect the battery and test the engine in water, confirming a strong stream from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if my water pump impeller is failing?
A weak or nonexistent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet is the most common indicator. Other signs include engine overheating alarms, steam from the exhaust, or a visibly melted, cracked, or brittle impeller during a physical inspection.
What is the recommended replacement interval for this kit?
For preventative maintenance and to ensure engine reliability, most manufacturers recommend replacing the water pump impeller and related seals every 1 to 2 years or every 100 to 200 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. This can vary based on operating conditions (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater).
Will this kit fit an F300A model?
No, this kit is specifically designed for the F300B and F300C models, among others listed in the compatibility chart. The F300A uses a different water pump assembly. Always confirm your exact model and year before ordering, and cross-reference the OEM part number 6CE-W0078-01-00.
What's the difference between this kit and older versions like 6CE-W0078-00-00?
The part number 6CE-W0078-01-00 (and subsequent -02-00) is a supersession from Yamaha, indicating an update or revision to the original kit. Our kit is built to the latest specification, ensuring compatibility with all models covered by these part numbers.
Is this a genuine Yamaha OEM part?
This listing is for a high-quality aftermarket replacement, not an OEM component. It is engineered to meet or exceed OEM-level specifications using comparable materials and is manufactured in an ISO 9002 certified facility with rigorous batch inspections for consistency.
How long does shipping take and what does it cost?
We ship worldwide quickly, with typical transit times of 5–15 days for most regions. Standard shipping is free. Expedited shipping options, if available for your location, will be presented at checkout.
