[Rhodes22-list] motor with prostate problem

[Michael D. Weisner]

Joe,

Sorry to hear about your mom.

Your Yamaha probably has a bad water pump impeller.  They sell a repair kit 
for the water pump.  This requires that you are able to disassemble the 
lower unit to replace the impeller and seals.  See Yamaha OEM Parts site:
http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard/parts/home.aspx
for diagrams and part numbers.  Enter info as follows (on the top lines):
    Step 1 = Outboard
    Step 2 = 1998 Outboard
    Step 3 = 9.9MLHW (or your model number if different)

    Select "Repair Kit 2" on the left navigation panel

Item #17, part number 63V-W0078-00-00 WATER PUMP REPAIR KIT is what you most 
likely need.  Google on the part number finds:
http://www.boats.net/parts/detail/yamaha/Y-63V-W0078-00-00.html
where the kit can be had for about $30.
