Product Details
This water pump impeller kit is designed to service compatible Mercury and Mariner outboard water pumps and selected MerCruiser Alpha One Generation II stern-drive applications. A properly maintained water pump helps circulate cooling water and reduce the risk of overheating. Always confirm the engine or drive model, year, serial-number range, housing style, and the part number of the original component before ordering.
The kit replaces or cross-references Mercury part number 47-43026Q06. Catalog references also associate this application with Mercury 47-43026T11 and 47-8M0100526, and with Sierra 18-3265. These references should be treated as application leads rather than a substitute for checking the complete model and serial-number conditions.
- Aftermarket replacement water pump service kit.
- Neoprene impeller intended for compatible marine cooling-water pump applications.
- Includes the listed gaskets, seals, plate, key, O-rings, and the Alpha One Gen II coupling assembly identified below.
- Designed for direct replacement where the original pump configuration and dimensions match.

Engine and Drive Compatibility
The fitment information below summarizes catalog application guidance for the referenced Mercury number. Model-year and serial-number boundaries can vary by gearcase, water-pump housing, and production change. Do not rely on horsepower alone.
| Brand | Application | Rated HP | Stroke / Type | Application Condition | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mercury / Mariner | Selected 4-cylinder outboards | 40–115 HP | 4-Stroke | Catalog application beginning with 2001 production; verify exact model and serial number. | 47-43026Q06 |
| Mercury / Mariner | Selected large-housing outboards | 65–225 HP | 2-Stroke | Large metal water-pump housing; verify housing style and serial-number range. | 47-43026Q06 / GLM 12043 |
| MerCruiser | Alpha One Generation II stern drives | N/A | Stern drive | Confirm drive serial number, water-pump configuration, and whether the coupling assembly is required for the service. | 47-43026Q06 |
Important: The original listing included Honda applications, but the available product and catalog research did not independently verify those Honda relationships for this kit. Honda fitment should not be assumed from this page; use a Honda-specific catalog or the original Honda part number to confirm a separate application.

Installation Notes
- Turn off the engine, remove the ignition key, disconnect the battery where appropriate, and place the drive or engine in a safe service position.
- Follow the manufacturer’s service procedure for removing the lower unit or stern-drive components. Drain gear lubricant only if required by that procedure.
- Remove the water-pump housing and retain the original component orientation for comparison.
- Remove the old impeller, key, gaskets, plate, seals, and O-rings as applicable to the pump configuration.
- Inspect the housing, wear surfaces, shaft, water tube, and mating faces for scoring, corrosion, distortion, or debris.
- Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly. Do not reuse damaged gaskets, seals, keys, or O-rings.
- Install the supplied plate, key, impeller, gaskets, and seals in the correct order. Use a marine-safe lubricant compatible with the impeller material.
- Reinstall the water-pump housing and tighten fasteners to the engine or drive manufacturer’s specified torque.
- Reinstall the lower unit or stern-drive assembly, ensuring correct alignment of the driveshaft, shift shaft, water tube, and coupling components.
- Refill the gearcase with the specified lubricant if it was drained.
- Run the engine only with an appropriate water supply, such as flushing muffs or a test tank, and verify a strong cooling-water discharge before returning the boat to service.
Troubleshooting and FAQ
How can I confirm that this kit fits?
Match the full engine or drive model, year, serial number, water-pump housing style, shaft dimensions, and original part number. The presence of a matching horsepower rating alone is not sufficient.
What are common signs of a worn impeller?
Possible signs include weak or intermittent tell-tale flow, overheating warnings, reduced cooling-water pressure, or an impeller that is cracked, brittle, deformed, or missing blades.
How often should a water-pump impeller be replaced?
Inspect the impeller during regular maintenance and replace it according to the engine or drive manufacturer’s service schedule. Frequent saltwater, sandy-water, or long-storage use may require more frequent inspection.
Why is a coupling assembly included?
The listed coupling assembly is intended for applicable MerCruiser Alpha One Generation II water-pump service configurations. It is not automatically used on every Mercury or Mariner outboard application.
What should I do if the old impeller is damaged?
Locate and remove all missing pieces from the water passages, pump housing, and downstream cooling system. Flush and inspect the system as required before installing the replacement kit.
Is this an OEM part?
No. This is an aftermarket replacement kit. The Mercury, Sierra, and GLM numbers shown are manufacturer or catalog references used for application comparison and are not a claim that this kit is manufactured by those companies.
Safety and Important Information
- Verify the original part, dimensions, images, model, year, and serial number before ordering.
- Do not operate an outboard or stern drive without an adequate water supply.
- Follow the manufacturer’s service manual for torque values, gearcase procedures, and safety requirements.
- Professional installation is recommended when lower-unit or stern-drive service is outside your experience.
