Installation Notes
- Disconnect the negative battery cable and close the engine's water inlet valve (seacock).
- Place a suitable container below the sea water pump to catch any spilled coolant.
- Remove the screws securing the pump's end cover and carefully pry the cover off.
- Note the rotational direction of the existing impeller vanes before removal. Use pliers or an impeller puller to extract the old impeller.
- Clean the interior of the pump housing and the end cover sealing surface. Inspect for scoring or damage.
- Remove the old O-ring and install the new one provided in the kit.
- Lightly lubricate the inside of the pump housing and the new impeller with water-resistant grease or dish soap.
- Insert the new impeller into the housing, rotating the driveshaft in the normal direction of engine operation to correctly bend the vanes.
- Reinstall the end cover and tighten the screws evenly in a star pattern to the manufacturer's specified torque.
- Open the seacock, reconnect the battery cable, and start the engine. Immediately check for water leaks and verify proper water flow from the exhaust.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this impeller fits my engine?
This kit is specifically for MerCruiser V6/V8 engines (4.3L-8.2L, 2000 and newer) that use a brass sea water pump. Please verify your model against the compatibility table. It is crucial to confirm your pump is the brass housing type, as this will not fit plastic pumps.
What are the signs of a failing impeller?
Common symptoms include the engine temperature rising above normal at idle or low speeds, a noticeably weaker stream of water from the exhaust outlet, and, upon inspection, visible cracks, tears, or missing vanes on the impeller itself.
How often should I replace my impeller?
For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to replace your impeller every one to two years or every 100-200 hours of use, whichever occurs first. If you operate in sandy, silty, or debris-heavy water, more frequent inspections are advised.
My old part is 47-862232A2. Will this fit?
Yes. Mercury part number 47-862232A2 was officially superseded by 47-8M0104229. This aftermarket kit is designed as a direct replacement for both of those OEM part numbers.
What is the difference between this and the OEM part?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It is built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials (neoprene with a brass hub). Our parts are manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility and are batch-inspected for quality and consistency.
What is your shipping speed and cost?
We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit is 5–15 days. Standard shipping is free to most locations; expedited options may be available at checkout depending on your region.
