Yanmar 119578-42501-J Raw Water Cooling Pump for 6LY3
The Yanmar 119578-42501-J is the factory raw water cooling pump for 6LY3 Series engines. It is driven directly by the engine, so it turns whenever the engine turns, and everything downstream of it in the cooling circuit depends on it holding its output.
There comes a point where rebuilding stops making sense. A pump body that has corroded and pitted around the impeller bore will not seal against a new impeller anywhere; a shaft that is scored where the seal runs will cut a new seal in hours; and a bearing that has taken salt water is on borrowed time whatever else is done. When two or three of those are true at once, a complete pump is the honest answer and it goes back on the engine in an afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the warning signs before it fails?
A weak exhaust stream, salt crusting or a weep at the pump drain, a rumble or growl that changes with engine speed, and temperatures that creep up under load.
Q: Should I replace the gasket when fitting it?
Always. The mounting joint has been disturbed, the old gasket has taken a set, and a leak there is both a coolant loss and a corrosion problem.
Q: Is a spare pump worth carrying?
On a boat that goes offshore, yes. A pump can be changed at sea in reasonable conditions, while a body that has failed cannot be repaired with what is aboard.
Q: What should I check after fitting?
Run the engine at the dock and watch the exhaust stream, then check the joint faces for weeping once everything is up to temperature and has cooled again.
