Yamaha - Electric Oil Pump Strainer | Oil System Component | 68F-13440-00-00

Overview

The electric oil pump strainer is a critical component in your Yamaha outboard’s oiling system, designed to filter out contaminants before oil reaches the electric oil pump. Positioned between the engine-mounted oil tank and the oil pump, it helps ensure that only clean oil flows through the system. This is especially important for maintaining proper lubrication and protecting internal engine components from premature wear. If the strainer becomes clogged or dirty, it can restrict oil flow and impact engine performance. Replacing it helps maintain clean oil circulation and supports long-term engine reliability.

Key Features

• Oil Filtration Function – Traps debris and contaminants before they reach the oil pump.
• Protects Engine Components – Helps prevent damage caused by dirty or restricted oil flow.
• OEM Yamaha Construction – Built to factory specifications for durability and proper fit.
• Critical Maintenance Item – Supports consistent lubrication and engine longevity.

Engine & Boat Compatibility

Used on Yamaha outboards equipped with HPDI (High Pressure Direct Injection) systems, installed between the oil tank and electric oil pump.
