- Install the new impeller into the housing, rotating it in the correct direction of engine rotation.

Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm if this kit fits my specific OMC Cobra engine?
The surest way is to match your engine model and year to our compatibility chart. Several engine models from 1987-1993 are noted as "Except originally equipped with short impeller." If you are unsure, visually inspect your current pump or reference your OEM service manual before ordering.
What are the signs of a failing water pump impeller?
Common symptoms include engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or non-existent stream of water from the tell-tale outlet, and visible cracking, stiffness, or missing blades on the old impeller upon inspection.
How often should I replace my water pump impeller?
As a general maintenance guideline, inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years, or after every 100-200 hours of use. Replacement frequency should be increased if you operate in sandy, silty, or saltwater conditions.
Is the plastic housing durable?
Yes, the housing is made from a high-quality, corrosion-proof plastic engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications for durability and performance in a marine environment. It is designed to withstand heat and pressure found in marine engine cooling systems.
What is included that other kits might not have?
This is a complete repair kit that includes not only the impeller but also the pump housing, liner, plate, and all necessary gaskets for a full overhaul. Many basic kits only provide the impeller itself.

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.
