Installation Guide

1. Disconnect the battery and drain the gearcase oil before starting.
2. Unbolt and carefully remove the lower gearcase unit from the outboard engine leg.
3. Remove the bolts on the water pump housing and lift it off to expose the impeller and wear plate.
4. Take out the old impeller, gaskets, seals, and wear plate, noting their order and orientation.
5. Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces, removing any old sealant or corrosion.
6. Install the new wear plate, gaskets, and woodruff key. Slide the new impeller onto the driveshaft, rotating it clockwise to bend the vanes correctly.
7. Place the new housing over the impeller and tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
8. Carefully reinstall the lower unit, ensuring the driveshaft, water tube, and shift shaft are aligned.
9. Refill the gearcase with fresh oil. Reconnect the battery and test the engine with a water supply, checking for strong water flow from the tell-tale.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this kit fits my specific engine?
This kit fits Yamaha 40HP 2-stroke models CV40 and C40 from 1990–1997. Please check the "Compatible Engine Models" table on this page and match your exact model number (e.g., C40ELR) and year. Cross-referencing your old part number with the ones listed (6F5-W0078-A0-00, 679-W0078-A1-00) is the best way to guarantee a match.

What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Common signs include a weak or non-existent water stream from the tell-tale outlet, an engine overheat alarm, or visible cracks and missing vanes on the old impeller during inspection. You may also notice the engine running hotter than usual.

How often should a water pump impeller be replaced?
As a general maintenance guideline, impellers should be inspected annually and replaced 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.
