Sierra 18-3348 Complete Water Pump Kit, Replaces OMC 984461, Fits All OMC Cobra Drives 2.3-7.5
The Sierra 18-3348 is a complete water pump kit built for All OMC Cobra Drives, covering displacements from 2.3 through 7.5. This kit is the full-service solution for restoring cooling system performance on OMC Cobra stern drives, supplying the components needed to rebuild the water pump section in one go rather than sourcing parts individually. It includes impeller 18-3058, the wear component most responsible for raw water circulation and the part most likely to fail first from dry-running or age-related cracking.
Because this is a complete kit rather than a housing-only kit, it is suited to a full water pump rebuild where the impeller is being replaced alongside the housing hardware, rather than a housing-only repair. It replaces OEM number 984461, giving owners of aging OMC Cobra drives a direct source for a part number that is no longer readily available from the original manufacturer.
Fitment spans multiple OMC Cobra Drive engine sizes and model years: 2.3 (1987-90), 2.5 (1986), 3.0 (1986-93), 4.3 (1986-93), 4.6 (1989), 5.0 (1986-93), 5.7 (1986-93), 5.8 (1989-93), and 7.5 (1987-89). Confirm your drive's engine size and model year against this list before ordering, since OMC Cobra water pump hardware varies by displacement and year.
