Yamaha - Water Inlet Cover 2 - Cooling System Component - 61A-45215-11-00

Overview

This cover works alongside the rest of the intake system to make sure water gets pulled into your lower unit the right way. If it’s worn, cracked, or partially blocked, it can throw off water flow and start causing cooling issues you don’t want to deal with out on the water. It’s not a complicated part, but it plays a steady role in keeping your engine supplied with the water it needs. Replacing it when it shows wear helps keep your cooling system consistent and reliable.
