00:00If you've ever been out on the water and watched your temperature alarm start screaming,
00:04you already know the feeling that's sinking realization that your impeller is toast.
00:08Today I'm walking you through the top 5 marine water pump repair kits I've found,
00:12all of them proven sellers with thousands of happy boaters behind them, and honestly,
00:17some of these prices are hard to believe. Let's get into it!
00:21First up is the 6N0W0078 water pump impeller kit built for Yamaha two-stroke outboards,
00:28specifically the 6 and 8 horsepower motors. What I like about this one is that it's a complete kit,
00:33you're getting the impeller, the housing wear plate, gaskets, seals, and the little pins and
00:38keys that always seem to disappear into the bilge. It cross-references the Sierra 18-3460 and covers a
00:45whole stack of Yamaha part numbers, so you're not guessing. At $24 and change with over 4,600 sold
00:52and a 4.8 rating, this is the kind of part you buy two of one for the motor, one
00:56for the spares box,
00:58next we've got the kit for Johnson, Avinrude, and OMC outboards, and this one's interesting
01:03because it covers an absolutely huge range everything from a little 5.5 horse kicker all
01:08the way up to 300 horsepower. If you're running an older OMC, you know parts availability can be a
01:14headache, so having a maintenance kit that spans this many models is genuinely useful.
01:19It's 21.85, it's moved over 4,500 units, and it sits at a 4.6 rating. For an older
01:27motor that just
01:27needs to keep running reliably season after season, that's money extremely well spent.
01:33Third on the list is the Honda 06193 ZV5-020 service kit, made for the 4-stroke BF35, BF40,
01:40BF45, and BF50 outboards. Honda 4-strokes are fantastic engines, but dealer parts pricing can
01:47make your eyes water, which is exactly why this one stands out, it's just 1553. It matches up with
01:54the original Honda part numbers and the Sierra 18-3282, so fitment isn't a gamble. 4,500 sold
02:02and a 4.8 rating tells me people are putting these on real boats and coming back happy.
02:07Easily the best value-to-quality ratio on this list.
02:11Number 4 is the Suzuki 17400-98550 impeller kit, covering the 6, 8, 9.9, and 15-horsepower motors,
02:20plus the older DT5, DT6, and DT8 models. This is the cheapest kit here at just $12.04,
02:28and that's kind of wild when you consider a seized water pump can cost you an entire powerhead.
02:33The impeller vanes are properly flexible so they don't take a set in crack,
02:37and it lines up with the Sierra 18-3259 reference. 4,450 sold, 4.8 stars, if you own a
02:46small Suzuki
02:46kicker, just buy it now and thank yourself in spring. And rounding out the list, the 394,711
02:54impeller repair kit for Johnson and a Vinrude 9.9 and 15-horsepower outboards.
02:59This one has the highest rating of the whole group at 4.9 stars, which for a wear part is
03:04really saying something. It replaces the 039, 4711 and 391,698 originals, and the kit includes
03:13everything you need to do the job in one afternoon with basic hand tools. At $16.99 with over 4
03:19,000
03:19sold, it's the one I'd grab if I wanted the safest bet on this list. Those small OMC kickers run
03:25forever
03:26if you just feed them a fresh impeller every couple of seasons. All the links are down in
03:31the description below, so go grab whichever one fits your motor before you head out this season.
