  2. Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the upper casing.
  3. Carefully lower the gearcase, being mindful of the shift shaft linkage.
  4. Unbolt and remove the old water pump housing assembly.
  5. Clean the driveshaft and mounting surfaces, removing any old gasket material or sealant.
  6. Assemble the new kit components. Install the new gaskets, wear plate, and impeller. Ensure the impeller vanes are oriented correctly (typically by turning the driveshaft clockwise during installation).
  7. Re-install the water pump housing and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.
  8. Re-attach the lower unit, ensuring the shift shaft, water tube, and driveshaft align correctly before tightening.
  9. After securing the lower unit, test the engine using a water source (flushing muffs or in water) to confirm proper cooling system operation.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

My Yamaha is a 1996/1997 model. Which part number is correct?

There can be an overlap in these years. Yamaha models from 1984–1996 generally use the 6G1 series part number (6G1-W0078-A1-00), while models from 1997 onwards often use 6N0-W0078-A0-00. This kit is designed to replace both. The best practice is to verify by visually matching your old pump components to our product photos before ordering.

What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?

Common signs include a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" port, engine overheating alarms, steam from the exhaust, and reduced engine performance. It is a critical maintenance item that should be replaced every 1-2 years or 100-200 hours of use, especially in saltwater environments.

Will this fit my Mariner outboard?

This kit is listed as compatible with Mariner 6C, 6D, and 8C models from 1984 to 1986, which were manufactured by Yamaha. However, we strongly recommend cross-referencing your part numbers and visually inspecting your old pump components before ordering to guarantee fitment.

What is the difference between the various Yamaha part numbers this kit replaces?

The part numbers 6G1-W0078-00-00, 6G1-W0078-01-00, and 6G1-W0078-A1-00 are earlier versions or supersessions for the same group of engines. The 6N0-W0078-A0-00 is the reference for slightly later models. This aftermarket kit contains all the necessary components to service the pumps covered by all these equivalent numbers.

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.
