Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the battery and ensure the engine is turned off and cool.
  2. Locate the lower unit of the outboard motor. You will likely need to remove it from the engine's midsection by undoing the main bolts.
  3. With the lower unit separated, locate the water pump housing, typically secured by four to six bolts.
  4. Carefully remove the bolts and lift the water pump housing off. The old impeller and gaskets will be visible.
  5. Remove the old water pump base gasket, ensuring the mating surface on the lower unit is completely clean of any old gasket material or sealant.
  6. Place the new base gasket onto the cleaned surface, ensuring it aligns with all bolt holes and water passages.
  7. Reassemble the water pump components (impeller, housing, etc.) in the reverse order of removal.
  8. Re-attach the lower unit to the engine, tighten all bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque, and reconnect the battery.
  9. Test the engine using a water supply (flushing muffs) to check for proper water flow and leaks.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if my water pump gasket is failing?

Signs of a failing gasket include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or inconsistent water stream from the "telltale" outlet, or visible water leaks around the seam of the water pump housing on the lower unit.

Is this gasket compatible with my engine if the stroke isn't listed?

Most likely, yes. This gasket fits a wide range of Mercury engines from 30-300 HP, covering 2-stroke, 4-stroke, DFI, and EFI models. The most reliable way to confirm fitment is to match your engine's model and serial number to our compatibility table or cross-reference the OEM part number 27-430331.

What is the recommended replacement interval?

It is best practice to replace the entire water pump impeller kit, including this base gasket, every 100-200 service hours or every 1-2 years, whichever comes first. This interval should be shortened if you operate frequently in saltwater or sandy/silty conditions.

Can I reuse my old gasket if it looks okay?

No. Gaskets are single-use components that compress to create a seal. Once the water pump housing has been removed, the old gasket will not provide a reliable seal and should always be replaced to prevent leaks and potential engine damage.

Does this replace the gasket for both plastic and metal water pump housings?

Yes, this gasket is designed to work with the standard water pump assemblies on the listed Mercury, Mariner, and Mercruiser Alpha One models, which may feature either plastic or metal top housings depending on the specific application and year.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

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.
