Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if my water pump needs replacing?

Common signs of a failing water pump include a weak or non-existent water stream from the engine's "telltale" outlet, engine overheating alarms, and a dry, brittle, or cracked impeller found during inspection.

What is the recommended replacement interval?

For optimal reliability, inspect the impeller annually and replace the entire water pump kit every 2-3 years or 200-300 hours of use, whichever comes first. This can vary based on operating conditions (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater).

Is this a complete kit?

Yes, this is a complete kit that includes the water pump housing, impeller, wear plate, gaskets, and seals required for a standard replacement.

My engine model is listed, but the year is different. Will it fit?

No. This kit is specifically designed for the models and years listed (1980–1985). Due to design changes across model years, using this kit on an engine outside the specified range may lead to improper fitment, cooling issues, or engine damage.

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.
