The water pump impeller is the component responsible for drawing raw water through the lower unit and circulating it up through the engine block to keep the powerhead running at a safe operating temperature. As the impeller wears, its vanes lose flexibility and can crack or shear off, reducing water flow and putting the engine at risk of overheating, so this part is a routine maintenance item that should be replaced on a regular service interval or any time cooling performance drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis impeller is black in color and ships as a single unit (package quantity of 1). It is built to fit into the existing OMC water pump housing without modification, using the same footprint and drive engagement as the original impeller it replaces. It fits Johnson\/Evinrude 40 HP outboards from 1999 and up, and cross-references directly to OMC part numbers 396725 and 432954, making it a straightforward swap for boat owners performing their own water pump service.\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 18-3053-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water Pump Impeller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Johnson\/Evinrude (OMC\/BRP) 40 HP outboards, 1999-Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaces (OEM):\u003c\/strong\u003e 396725, 432954\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.30625 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282342630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eJohnson\/Evinrude (OMC\/BRP) 40 HP outboards, 1999-Up\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e396725\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e432954\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat engines does the Sierra 18-3053-1 impeller fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-3053-1 fits Johnson\/Evinrude (OMC\/BRP) 40 HP outboards from 1999 and up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat OEM part numbers does the 18-3053-1 replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e It cross-references to OMC part numbers 396725 and 432954, so either of those numbers will lead you to the Sierra 18-3053-1 as the correct replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this impeller weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-3053-1 water pump impeller weighs 0.30625 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many impellers come in the package?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-3053-1 ships as a single impeller, with a package quantity of 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Sierra 18-3053-1 impeller?\u003c\/strong\u003e This impeller is black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-3053-1 an OEM or aftermarket part?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-3053-1 is a Sierra-branded replacement part built to match the fit and function of the original OMC 396725\/432954 impeller, rather than a part sourced from Johnson\/Evinrude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen should I replace my outboard's water pump impeller?\u003c\/strong\u003e A worn or cracked impeller reduces cooling water flow and can lead to engine overheating, so the 18-3053-1 should be installed as part of routine water pump maintenance or whenever cooling performance declines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install the 18-3053-1 myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-3053-1 is sized and configured to install into the existing OMC water pump housing on compatible Johnson\/Evinrude 40 HP outboards without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 18-3053-1 fit other Johnson\/Evinrude horsepower models?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-3053-1 is specified for 40 HP Johnson\/Evinrude outboards, 1999 and up; other horsepower ratings and model years use different Sierra impeller part numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat identifies this as the correct part for my engine?\u003c\/strong\u003e Look for OMC part number 396725 or 432954 on your outboard's water pump; both correspond to the Sierra 18-3053-1 impeller.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988137521371,"sku":"SIE-18-3053-1","price":28.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-3053_lg__49638.1558123771.500.750.jpg?v=1785189177","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-3053-1-water-pump-impeller-for-omc-johnson-evinrude-outboards-replaces-396725-wedge-key","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
