Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
This kit is very specific. First, ensure your engine is a Mercury, Mariner, or Force 30-70 HP 4-stroke model from 1998 or newer. The most critical step is to measure the torpedo diameter of your lower unit's gearcase—it must be 3.44 inches (87.38mm). If it is different, this kit will not fit. Use the serial number ranges in the compatibility table to further verify your specific model.
What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
The most common sign is engine overheating at idle or low speeds. You may also notice a weak or nonexistent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet port. Reduced engine performance and steam from the exhaust are also indicators.
How often should the water pump impeller be replaced?
As a preventative maintenance item, it is recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation, whichever comes first. This interval can be shorter if you frequently operate in sandy, silty, or saltwater conditions.
Why is the torpedo diameter so important?
Mercury produced different gearcase sizes for outboards in the same horsepower range. This kit is designed exclusively for the larger 3.44" diameter gearcase. Ordering without verifying this dimension is the most common reason for receiving an incorrect part.
OEM vs. Aftermarket?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
