Yamaha Water pump impeller

[JimH]

Engine: 1999 Yamaha 200 SS (SX200TXRX)<br /><br />I'd like to replace the fuel filter, water pump impeller, and air filter (?). Can anyone recommend a quality parts dealer (web preferred)?<br />I haven't taken the cover off this puppy yet (serviced by dealer up to this point), and my boss (also has a yamadog - 150 w/o efi) had trouble locating the air filter. I was surprised - is it difficult to locate? What type - paper / oil-soaked foam / what ? Any parts "upgrade / performance" suggestions?<br />I don't think replacing the water pump impeller would be too hard (looked at one web article on the subject). I've completed many successful non-outboard motor maintenance/repairs and have some high school "shop" class experience (2 ys of motorcycle specialty) - but no outboard experience. Any caution or experience out there that may cause me to change my mind?<br />

Hello Coach Jim;<br />There isn't much dust and dirt on any of the lakes that I've gone to. There is usually just an air silencer cover in front of the carbs,no air filter. I don't think that a water pump job would be too hard, it's pretty straight foward.<br />Good luck

Interesting... even out on the water there are airborne particles and pollutants that (I imagine) an engineer would not want to have going through the system. Still - that would seem to agree with my boss' observation (and I noticed no mention of this in my owner’s manual!).<br /><br />Thanks for the kind wishes...<br />
