Troubleshooting & FAQ

How can I be sure this impeller fits my Mercury engine?
This impeller is designed for a wide range of Mercury/Mariner 2-stroke (6-15 HP, 1986-2005) and 4-stroke (8-15 HP, 1995-2008) outboards, plus select 1998 Force/Sears models. To ensure a perfect match, please consult the detailed compatibility tables on this page. We strongly recommend using the Mercury serial number guide link provided to verify your specific model and year before purchasing.

What makes this impeller design durable?
The impeller is constructed from a tough neoprene rubber compound designed for longevity in marine environments. The central brass insert is chemically bonded to the flexible vanes, which strongly resists tearing under high RPMs and helps maintain consistent water flow for reliable engine cooling.

How often should I replace my water pump impeller?
For optimal engine protection, we recommend inspecting your impeller annually and replacing it every 1-2 years or every 100-200 hours of operation. Replacement frequency should be increased if you operate in saltwater or in water with high levels of sand or silt.
