Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this impeller kit fits my engine?
This kit is specifically for MerCruiser V6 & V8 engines (305, 350, 496, 502 CID) from 2000 and newer that use a brass sea water pump. Please check our compatibility table. It is crucial to confirm your pump is brass, as this kit will not work with plastic housings. It explicitly excludes 4.5L and 6.2L models.
What are the signs of a failing impeller?
Common symptoms include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a noticeably weak or absent stream of water from the exhaust outlets, and, upon inspection, visible cracks, stiffness, or missing blades on the old impeller.
When should I replace my sea water pump impeller?
For preventative maintenance, we recommend replacing your impeller every 1-2 years or every 200-300 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Always replace it immediately if you notice signs of failure or overheating.
What makes this a "heavy duty" kit?
This kit features a robust 8-blade impeller that is 0.030" shorter than standard. This design helps restore pressure and flow in pump housings that have experienced minor wear over time, providing a tighter seal and more reliable performance.
Why is it only for brass pump housings?
The materials and precise dimensions of the impeller and wear plate are engineered to mate perfectly with MerCruiser's brass sea water pump housings. Using this kit in a plastic or composite pump can lead to improper fit, accelerated wear, and potential pump failure.
Is this kit difficult to install?
Installation is a task of moderate difficulty for someone with mechanical experience. If you are not comfortable performing the work, we strongly recommend professional installation. Always refer to your engine's official service manual for detailed procedures.
