Yamaha - Water Tube - Cooling System Water Transfer - 63V-44361-01-00

Overview

The water tube is one of those parts you don’t see much, but it’s critical to keeping your engine cool. I’ve run into motors overheating simply because this tube was clogged, bent, or not sealing right. It’s what carries water from the lower unit up into the powerhead, so everything depends on it flowing clean. When it’s in good shape, your cooling system just works the way it should without any surprises.

Key Features

• Direct Water Flow Path – Channels cooling water from the pump to the engine efficiently.
• OEM Fitment – Built to Yamaha specifications for proper alignment and sealing.
• Corrosion-Resistant Material – Designed to handle constant exposure to water and marine conditions.
• Secure Connection Design – Ensures a tight fit to prevent leaks or loss of water pressure.

Engine & Boat Compatibility

Fits Yamaha outboard engines equipped with compatible water tube cooling systems. Commonly used on small- to mid-range horsepower outboards across fishing boats, tenders, and recreational vessels.
