Sierra 18-3049 Impeller - OEM Equivalent to Suzuki 17461-87E11

The Sierra 18-3049 Impeller is a water pump impeller engineered for 4 stroke outboard engines, built to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment part it replaces. It serves as the OEM equivalent to Suzuki part number 17461-87E11, making it a direct replacement option for the factory impeller in your engine's water pump. The impeller is constructed from alloy steel and aluminum and finished in white, giving it durability suited to the demands of continuous marine operation and exposure to saltwater and freshwater environments.

As the impeller wears or degrades, water flow through the cooling system can be reduced, so replacing it with a properly rated part like the Sierra 18-3049 helps maintain consistent engine cooling. This impeller mounts within the engine's water pump housing as part of the motor's raw water cooling circuit. Sierra supplies impellers and other quality parts to OEM engine manufacturers and boat builders, and this part is designed as a like-for-like equivalent for the Suzuki fitment listed below.
