It is the gasket component of the water pump impeller service kit, designed to seal the water pump housing against the powerhead so the impeller can draw and circulate cooling water without leaks. Replacing this gasket is a standard part of a water pump service, typically performed alongside the impeller itself to restore proper cooling system sealing and prevent water intrusion or loss of pump pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gasket is sold as an individual component, separate from the impeller and the housing, so it can be used on its own for a gasket-only refresh or as part of a complete water pump rebuild. It is manufactured to fit the specified Honda BF8A engine coverage listed below, using the Honda engine code referenced for this application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-2608\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water Pump Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282227784\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Make:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e BF8A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHorsepower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHonda Engine Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6315386\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda BF8A, 8 HP, model years 1998-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda BF8A, 8 HP, model years 2003-06\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda BF8A, 8 HP, K0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sierra 18-2608 gasket used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2608 is a water pump gasket for Honda BF8A 8 HP outboard motors, used to seal the water pump housing during a water pump or impeller service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-2608 gasket fit Honda BF8A 8 HP outboards?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 18-2608 gasket is fitted to Honda BF8A 8 HP outboard motors covering model years 1998-00, 2003-06, and K0.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this gasket come with the impeller or housing?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, Sierra 18-2608 is the gasket only; the impeller and housing for the Honda BF8A water pump are separate part numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-2608 gasket weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2608 gasket weighs 0.01 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Honda engine code corresponds to this gasket's fitment?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Honda engine code associated with the BF8A 8 HP fitment for the 18-2608 gasket is 6315386.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-2608 an OEM Honda part?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-2608 is a Sierra-branded gasket manufactured to fit Honda BF8A 8 HP outboard motors; it is not an OEM Honda-branded part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould the gasket be replaced when servicing the water pump impeller?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, replacing the gasket along with the impeller during a Honda BF8A water pump service helps ensure a proper seal and prevent cooling system leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-2608 gasket fit Honda BF8A engines with K2 or K3 codes?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-2608 fitment listing for Honda BF8A includes K0; K2 and K3 designations are not listed for this specific gasket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when ordering the 18-2608?\u003c\/strong\u003e Ordering the Sierra 18-2608 includes the single water pump gasket only, without the impeller or housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-2608 gasket specific to the BF8A model only?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, based on its listed fitment, the Sierra 18-2608 gasket is specified for the Honda BF8A 8 HP outboard motor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988107735259,"sku":"SIE-18-2608","price":5.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-2608_lg__41958.1558122211.500.750.jpg?v=1785329144","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-2608-water-pump-gasket-for-honda-bf8a-8-hp-outboard-honda-code-6315386-mpn-118-2608","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
