Yamaha - Water Tube - Cooling System Water Transfer - 63P-44361-00-00

Overview

The water tube is one of those parts that quietly keeps your engine alive every time you’re out on the water. I’ve seen motors overheat just because this tube was bent, clogged, or not lined up right after a lower unit install. It’s responsible for getting cooling water from the pump up into the engine, so flow has to stay clean and consistent. When it’s in good shape, the whole cooling system just works without any issues.

Key Features

• Efficient Water Transfer – Moves cooling water from the lower unit to the engine consistently.
• OEM Fitment – Built to Yamaha specifications for proper alignment and sealing.
• Corrosion-Resistant Build – Designed to handle constant exposure to water and marine conditions.
• Maintains Cooling Pressure – Helps ensure steady water flow under all operating conditions.

Engine & Boat Compatibility

Fits Yamaha outboard engines equipped with compatible water tube cooling systems. Commonly used on mid-range horsepower outboards across center consoles, bay boats, and recreational vessels.
