Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the battery, stop the engine, and allow all components to cool before beginning work.
  2. Support the outboard securely and remove the lower unit according to the manufacturer's service instructions.
  3. Remove the existing water pump components and note the orientation of the impeller, housing, gaskets, and related parts.
  4. Clean the mating surfaces and inspect the pump base, driveshaft, water tube, and fasteners for wear or damage.
  5. Install the replacement housing and supplied service components in the correct order for your exact engine model.
  6. Use the manufacturer's specified sealants, lubricants, clearances, and fastener torque values.
  7. Reinstall the lower unit, refill any drained lubricant as required, and confirm that the water tube and shift mechanism are correctly aligned.
  8. Test the cooling system with an appropriate water supply and check for a strong tell-tale stream and any leaks.

Troubleshooting and FAQ

How do I confirm fitment?

Match your exact Mercury or Mariner model, horsepower, cylinder configuration, and serial number with the application information for your engine. Also compare the existing water pump housing and related components with the product image and reference numbers before ordering.

What are common signs of a worn water pump?

Possible symptoms include overheating, a weak or missing tell-tale stream, temperature alarms, or visible damage to the impeller and housing. Stop operating the engine if it overheats and diagnose the cooling system before further use.

Does this product include a housing?

Yes. This listing identifies this as a water pump service kit with housing. The exact supporting components and quantities may depend on the application.

Is this an OEM product?

No. This is an aftermarket replacement. Mercury, Mariner, Sierra, Mallory, OBR, and other referenced names and numbers are used only to identify applications and cross-reference the replacement.

Does this fit MerCruiser stern drives?

This listing specifies Mercury and Mariner outboards. MerCruiser stern-drive fitment is not included in this listing's confirmed application data.
