Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Disconnect the battery and ensure the engine is in a secure, stable position.
2. Access the Lower Unit: Remove the bolts connecting the lower unit (gearcase) to the upper engine casing and carefully lower it.
3. Locate Pump Housing: The water pump is typically located on top of the gearcase, around the driveshaft.
4. Remove Old Components: Unscrew the bolts securing the pump housing. Remove the housing, old impeller, wear plate, and gaskets.
5. Clean and Inspect: Thoroughly clean the housing interior and all surfaces. Inspect the housing for cracks, warping, or scoring.
6. Install New Parts: Install the new cartridge insert and outer plate. Slide the new Woodruff key onto the driveshaft and install the new impeller, rotating it in the correct direction.
7. Reassemble Pump: Apply a light marine-grade lubricant to the inside of the housing and reinstall it over the new impeller with the new O-ring.
8. Secure Housing: Fasten the housing with the new bolts and washers, tightening them to the manufacturer's specified torque.
9. Reattach Lower Unit: Carefully guide the lower unit back into place, aligning the driveshaft, and secure it with its mounting bolts.
10. Test Operation: Reconnect the battery and run the engine with a proper water supply (using "ear muffs" or in the water). Check for a steady stream of water from the tell-tale outlet.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
Your primary check should be against the compatible engine models table. Verify your Yamaha model (e.g., 20D, 25N) and year falls within the specified range. Cross-referencing your existing part number with 6L2-W0078-00-00 is the best way to ensure an exact match.

What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Common symptoms include a weak or non-existent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet, engine overheating alarms, or a melted/distorted pump housing from excessive friction and heat.

How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years, depending on usage (hours) and operating conditions (saltwater vs. freshwater). Frequent use in sandy or silty water may require more frequent replacement.

Does this kit include the water pump housing?
No, this is a repair and service kit that includes the impeller and all related gaskets, plates, and hardware. It is designed to be installed into your existing pump housing. If your housing is cracked, warped, or heavily scored, it must be purchased separately.
