Water Pump Change Out (Price)

[Ranger Randy 521-C]

Question?

Im taking my 2015 Yamaha 250 SHO in for service tomorrow. All I’m getting done is the water pump impeller and housing complete, changed out. What kind of cost should I expect with no mechanical surprises. I think the dealer charges $150 / hour labor. A complete water pump assembly on eBay cost about $60. Any ideas?

Honestly, there's no way I would be taking it in to only get the impeller changed. Since the lower unit has to come off for that job you might as well do a full service. Sry I can't remember what we charge exactly for it to be done but I'd say between $200 and $250. Our shop rate is $110/hr. I think the complete assembly with housing and plate etc...will cost more than that at the dealer though. I think it's around $100. Either way I'd do full service and have everything fresh and on same time schedule

Thanks for the reply Tablerockslinger,

I just got back home home from the dealer (120 miles one way) you hit the nail on the head concerning pricing. $120.35 for the complete water pump kit (includes everything needed) and $150.00 in labor for a total of $250.35

I also ask for a engine performance / status check-up via their computer, that cost $50.00, I did recieve a very comprehensive health check and print out. They adjusted my trim indicator for free (Ha-ha-ha) it was out of calibration a bit. So at the end of the day I was very satisfied. Got in some good shopping at the Bass Pro Shop In Shreveport, LA.
