Installation Notes
- Disconnect the battery and shift the outboard into the neutral position.
- Place a drain pan under the lower unit and remove the gearcase oil drain/fill screws to drain the lubricant.
- Remove the bolts that connect the lower unit (gearcase) to the upper driveshaft housing.
- Carefully lower and separate the gearcase from the engine assembly.
- Locate the water pump assembly and remove its mounting bolts.
- Remove the old housing, impeller, wear plate, gaskets, and O-rings. Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces of any debris or old gasket material.
- Install the new components from the kit in the reverse order of removal. A light coating of marine grease on the new impeller can ease installation.
- Reinstall the water pump housing, ensuring bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications.
- Carefully guide the lower unit back into place, ensuring the driveshaft, water tube, and shift linkage are correctly aligned.
- Reinstall the lower unit bolts and refill the gearcase with fresh, high-quality marine gear oil.
- Once assembled, test the engine using a water source (flushing "muffs" or in the water) to verify strong and steady water flow from the tell-tale outlet.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How can I confirm this kit fits my Yamaha outboard?
This kit is specifically for Yamaha 20HP and 25HP two-cylinder, 2-stroke outboards from 1988–2009. The most reliable way to confirm fitment is to match your engine's model and year to the compatibility table on this page. You can also verify that your existing water pump kit part number is 6L2-W0078-00-00.
What are the signs of a failing water pump?
Common symptoms include a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, engine overheating alarms, or the engine running noticeably hotter than usual. A visual inspection of the old impeller may also show cracked, brittle, or missing vanes.
How often should the water pump and impeller be serviced?
As a general rule, it is recommended to 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 interval can be shorter if you operate frequently in sandy, silty, or saltwater environments.
Can I just replace the impeller instead of using the full kit?
While possible, it is highly recommended to replace all components in the kit. The housing, wear plate, and seals wear out over time along with the impeller. Replacing only the impeller can lead to a premature failure of the cooling system if other worn components are left in place.
Do I need any special sealant for installation?
Generally, no additional sealants are required if all surfaces are clean and the new gaskets are installed correctly. However, a light application of marine-grade grease on O-rings and the impeller can help with seating and initial startup. Always refer to your outboard's service manual for specific recommendations.
