Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this kit fits my specific engine?
The best way is to match your old part's number to one listed in our 'Part Number Matrix'. Additionally, check your engine model and year in the 'Engine & Model Compatibility' table. For some applications, this kit fits serial numbers between 2791957–6225576.
What are the signs of a failing water pump?
Common symptoms include the engine running hotter than normal, a complete overheating event, or a weak or absent stream of water from the 'tell-tale' outlet port. Visual inspection may also reveal cracked or missing vanes on the old impeller.
How often should a water pump impeller be replaced?
As a preventative maintenance measure, it is recommended to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years or 100-200 hours of use, particularly for boats operated in saltwater or silt-heavy water.
Is the pump housing included in this kit?
This is a complete repair kit intended to replace all wearable components. While it typically includes the impeller, gaskets, wear plates, and seals, the inclusion of the full upper and lower pump housing can vary. Please reference product images to confirm all included contents.
What is the 'preload pin' mentioned in the specs?
The preload pin is a small component used on Mercruiser MC-1 and R models. It applies the correct amount of pressure on the vertical drive shaft during assembly to ensure proper alignment and pump operation.
OEM vs. Aftermarket?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It is built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials and is manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, with batch-inspections for consistency.
