Yanmar 24321-000400 O-Ring
The Yanmar 24321-000400 is the genuine o-ring for Yanmar marine diesel sea water pumps that use this part. It seals a joint in the raw water pump: squeezed into its groove when the joint is closed, it is the only thing keeping sea water where it belongs.
Fitting is where most of them are lost. Clean the groove so nothing is trapped underneath, lift the old ring out with a plastic or brass pick rather than a screwdriver, and lubricate the new one lightly before the joint is closed. A ring nicked on a sharp edge during assembly seals well until the engine is running and then weeps, which sends people looking for a fault that is not there. Check the groove and the mating face for corrosion at the same time, because a pitted groove will not hold a new ring any better than it held the old one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should I replace all the pump seals at once?
If the pump is open, yes. They have all seen the same hours and the same water, and reaching them is most of the work.
Q: What makes an O-ring swell?
Absorption of whatever it is sealing, or contact with a fluid the material was not chosen for. A ring noticeably larger than the new one is telling you something is wrong.
Q: Does a cover O-ring differ from a port O-ring?
They seal different joints and are not interchangeable. Both are static seals, but each is sized for its own groove.
Q: Can I reuse an O-ring that looks fine?
It is a false economy. A ring compressed for a season has taken a set in its groove and no longer springs back, and it will often seal on the bench and leak once the engine is running.
