You can adjust “included/not included” to match what you actually supply, but the default in similar listings is “no prop, no water pump.”yamahaonlineparts+3

Aftermarket and remanufactured options

New aftermarket version: This is a brand‑new gearcase built to OEM‑equivalent specifications for the VZ‑series 3.3L HPDI outboards, designed as a direct replacement for the original Yamaha lower unit. It is suitable where the customer prefers a new assembly, wants to avoid core charges, or is replacing a severely damaged or missing OEM unit.qualityoutdrives+2

Remanufactured OEM version: This option uses an original Yamaha housing that has been professionally remanufactured, typically with all new gears, bearings and seals installed by specialist marine technicians. Remanufactured units are usually tested, built with OEM‑grade parts and offered with a 1‑year warranty by most suppliers, so your two‑year warranty is a selling point you can clearly state (based on your policy, not external sources).boatengine+2

Because both versions share the same core specifications—fitment range, shaft length, nosecone design, gear ratio—you can keep one common description and let customers choose “New Aftermarket” or “Remanufactured OEM” from a dropdown or variation selector.

Warranty and installation notes

Your store provides a two‑year warranty on both the new aftermarket and remanufactured versions of this lower unit; most marine remanufacturers typically advertise one‑year coverage, so you can legitimately highlight the extended term without exaggerating performance claims. Standard practice for reman gearcases is that the warranty covers defects in parts and workmanship, not damage from improper installation, lack of oil, impact, or overheating, which you may want to reflect in your policy text similar to other marine parts sellers.hinklemarine+3

Installation should be performed by qualified technicians, following Yamaha service manual procedures for gear oil, shift linkage adjustment, water pump service, and break‑in; correct oil level and water pump maintenance are critical for lower‑unit life and are emphasized across OEM and remanufactured gearcase sellers. You may also wish to mention that reman units often involve a refundable core charge (customer returns their old gearcase), as this is common for VZ200–300 remanufactured lower units.

This lower unit is used on Yamaha 3.3L VZ‑series HPDI V6 outboards from roughly 2003–2009, including VZ200, VZ225, VZ250 and VZ300 in various model‑code variants such as VZ250TLRD (250 HP, 2005 model year).

Q6: How do I confirm if my engine uses this lower unit?
A: Check the full Yamaha model code on the engine tag (for example “VZ250TLRD”) and the serial number, then compare to the fitment list above and the OEM lower unit part number 60X‑45300‑10‑NA or 60X‑45300‑11‑NA. If there is any doubt, cross‑check with your Yamaha dealer using your serial number.

Technical and product‑option questions

Q7: What OEM part numbers does this lower unit replace?
A: It is built as a direct replacement for Yamaha OEM lower unit assemblies 60X‑45300‑10‑NA and 60X‑45300‑11‑NA, which are catalogued for 3.3L VZ200–VZ300 HPDI outboards (200–300 HP).

Q8: Is this a 20″ shaft lower unit, and will it fit 25″ or 30″ engines?
A: The assembly is specified as a 20″ L‑shaft gearcase (YA‑G6‑07B) for VZ 200–300 HPDI V6 engines. Many 25″/30″ engines use the same basic gearcase but different midsection/drive‑shaft length; if your engine is 25″ or 30″ you must confirm shaft length and part number before ordering.

Q9: Does this unit have a nosecone / low‑water‑pickup design?
A: Yes, this product is the nosecone‑style VZ gearcase used on high‑performance 3.3L HPDI VMAX engines, designed to improve water flow and handling at higher speeds compared to standard non‑nosecone gearcases.

Q10: What gear ratio does this lower unit use?
A: The 3.3L VZ HPDI family typically uses approximately 1.75–1.81:1 gear ratios depending on horsepower; remanufactured YA‑G6‑07B gearcases are built to match OEM ratios for the specific HP model (200, 225, 250 or 300). If you are changing from a non‑OEM gearcase, verify ratio to avoid prop‑selection issues.

Q11: What is the difference between the “new aftermarket” and “remanufactured OEM” options in this listing?
A: The new aftermarket version is a brand‑new gearcase built to OEM‑equivalent spec with new housing, gears, bearings and seals. The remanufactured OEM version uses an original Yamaha housing that has been professionally rebuilt with new internals and tested; reman units commonly include a core charge and are supplied by specialist remanufacturers such as OBR/All Boat Supplies.

Q12: Is there a core charge for the remanufactured lower unit?
A: Most 3.3L VZ200–300 reman gearcases include a refundable core charge (for example, 300 USD) that is returned when you send back your old lower unit in rebuildable condition. Your listing should clearly state the core amount and conditions if you decide to use a core program.

Q13: Does this lower unit include a water pump and propeller?
A: Typical complete gearcase assemblies for Yamaha VZ HPDI outboards are shipped without a propeller and often without a full water‑pump kit, which is sold separately. Check what you supply; if you include a new pump, make that clear in the listing.

Q14: What warranty is offered on this product?
A: You plan to offer a two‑year warranty on both the new aftermarket and remanufactured versions, which is longer than the one‑year coverage commonly advertised by many remanufacturers. Warranty typically covers defects in materials and workmanship, not damage from lack of gear oil, overheating, or impact with underwater objects, so your terms should reflect that.

Q15: Do I need to do anything special when installing this lower unit on a VZ HPDI engine?
A: Installation should follow Yamaha service‑manual procedures for the specific VZ model, including correct gear‑oil type and level, proper shift‑rod adjustment, re‑servicing the water pump, and torquing mounting hardware to spec. After installation, use a short break‑in period and recheck for leaks and proper water‑pressure before full‑throttle operation.
