YAMAHA GASKET 6AW-14613-00

Function and technical context

This gasket is part of the Yamaha engine sealing systems, sealing critical points where components of the engine block, cylinder head or auxiliary systems come together. Its function is to prevent leaks of coolant, oil or other operational fluids, maintaining the integrity of the internal circuits of the propeller. Failure or wear of this part compromises the tightness of the system, causing fluid losses, water entry into engine cavities and, consequently, accelerated internal corrosion and localized overheating that significantly reduces the useful life of the propulsion equipment.

When to replace this part?

Engine gaskets show signs of aging after repeated heating and cooling cycles, manifested by fluid drips or stains in the installation area, gradual loss of coolant without apparent cause in the radiators, or the presence of water in the oil pan. It is recommended to inspect the condition of this gasket during each seasonal inspection and replace it preventively if it presents hardness, microscopic cracks or loss of elasticity. Changing the gasket early avoids major repairs in internal areas of the engine block and guarantees reliable operation throughout the entire navigation campaign.
