The Yamaha Water Inlet Cover 6CE-45224-00-00 helps protect and direct incoming cooling water as it enters the lower unit. If this cover becomes damaged or worn, debris or improper flow can affect the cooling system’s efficiency. Replacing it with a genuine Yamaha component helps keep water moving properly through the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"550\" data-end=\"553\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1ma7m6t\" data-start=\"555\" data-end=\"570\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"572\" data-end=\"686\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"600\"\u003eWater Inlet Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e – Shields the cooling system intake while allowing proper water flow into the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"688\" data-end=\"799\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"690\" data-end=\"712\"\u003eOEM Yamaha Fitment\u003c\/strong\u003e – Manufactured to Yamaha specifications for correct alignment and secure installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"801\" data-end=\"909\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"803\" data-end=\"829\"\u003eCooling System Support\u003c\/strong\u003e – Helps maintain consistent water intake for proper engine temperature control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"1032\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"913\" data-end=\"944\"\u003eDurable Marine Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e – Built to withstand constant water exposure, vibration, and harsh marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1034\" data-end=\"1135\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1036\" data-end=\"1065\"\u003eDirect Replacement Design\u003c\/strong\u003e – Installs in place of the original inlet cover without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1137\" data-end=\"1140\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1qx5o2j\" data-start=\"1142\" data-end=\"1172\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1174\" data-end=\"1292\"\u003eCompatible with select Yamaha outboard engines that utilize this style of water inlet cover within the cooling system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1400\"\u003eRefer to manufacturer fitment information to confirm compatibility with your specific Yamaha engine model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1402\" data-end=\"1405\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1hryhf7\" data-start=\"1407\" data-end=\"1413\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1415\" data-end=\"1579\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1415\" data-end=\"1476\"\u003eQ: What does a water inlet cover do on an outboard motor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1476\" data-end=\"1479\"\u003eA: It protects the cooling water intake area and helps guide water into the engine’s cooling system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1741\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1641\"\u003eQ: Can a damaged inlet cover affect cooling performance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1641\" data-end=\"1644\"\u003eA: Yes.
