Johnson Pump — Impeller Service Kit — 09-6000 — 189-096000

Johnson Pump Impeller Service Kit 09-6000 (189-096000)

Johnson Pump 09-6000 is a complete raw-water pump service kit for applicable F6-series Volvo Penta seawater pumps. Distributor SKU 189-096000 maps to this kit. It's intended for more complete pump servicing than an impeller-only change, covering the pump's normal wear and sealing components.

Kit Contents

• Flexible impeller
• Gasket/sealing components
• Lip seal
• Ball bearing
• O-ring(s)
• Glycerine/impeller grease

Compatible Applications

• Crankshaft-driven Volvo Penta gasoline seawater pumps used on selected 3.0L, 4.3L, 5.0L, 5.7L, and 8.1L engines with the later F6 pump configuration
• Published pump model reference: F6B-9
• Published impeller reference: 09-812B-1

Fitment Notice: 09-5000 vs. 09-6000

These two kits are not interchangeable, since they service different pump configurations.

• 09-5000 corresponds to the earlier F5-style Volvo Penta pump, with an impeller of approximately 1.25 in (31.8 mm)
• 09-6000 corresponds to the later F6-style pump, with a wider impeller of approximately 1.9 in (48 mm)

Because Volvo Penta changed crankshaft-mounted seawater pump designs during production, confirm the existing pump number and impeller width before ordering, especially on engines built around the 2005 model-year transition.

When This Part Needs Replacement

• Cracking, missing vanes, or permanent deformation of the impeller
• Water leakage from the shaft or seal area
• Rough or noisy pump bearings
• Excessive shaft movement
• Reduced seawater flow
• Engine overheating associated with inadequate raw-water circulation
• Corrosion or wear discovered during pump disassembly

If vanes are missing from the removed impeller, inspect downstream cooling passages, oil coolers, and heat exchangers for debris before returning the engine to service.

Installation Notes

Inspect the pump housing, shaft, and sealing surfaces before rebuilding; a service kit renews normal wear components but will not correct a badly damaged housing or shaft. Lubricate the replacement impeller during assembly and ensure the seal, bearing, and O-rings are installed squarely and without damage. Follow the applicable Johnson Pump or Volvo Penta procedure for the exact pump model.

Technical FAQ

Is this an impeller-only kit?
No. It's a full pump service kit covering the impeller, seals, bearing, O-rings, and lubricant.

How do I know if I need 09-6000 instead of 09-5000?
Check the existing impeller width or the pump's cross-reference number. 09-6000 applies to the later F6 pump configuration with the wider, approximately 1.9 in impeller.

How do I confirm fitment?
Verify the existing pump number and impeller width before ordering, particularly on engines from around the 2005 model-year transition.

Parts Desk Insights

Best use case: Servicing an F6-configuration raw-water pump that needs its impeller, bearing, and seals addressed together rather than piece by piece.

Most common mistake: Treating 09-5000 and 09-6000 as interchangeable. They service different pump configurations, so confirming the pump family first avoids ordering the wrong kit.

Sizing/fitment guidance: If the existing impeller is the wider, approximately 1.9-inch version, or the pump cross-references to the F6 application, 09-6000 / 189-096000 is the kit family to check first.
