Troubleshooting & FAQ
How can I confirm this kit fits my engine?
This kit is specifically for OMC Cobra stern drives (not King Cobra) made between 1986 and 1993. Verify your engine model and year against the compatibility table. It's also critical to visually match your old part to our product photos and check the OEM part numbers (984461, 983895, 984744).
Does this kit fit OMC King Cobra models?
No, this kit is not compatible with any OMC King Cobra models. Using it on a King Cobra drive will result in improper fitment and cooling system failure.
What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Common signs include the engine running hotter than normal or overheating, a weak or non-existent stream of water from the tell-tale outlet, and visible cracks, stiffness, or broken vanes on the old impeller upon inspection.
How often should a water pump impeller be replaced?
For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years, depending on usage (hours) and operating conditions (saltwater vs. freshwater).
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.
