Sierra 18-3206 Water Pump Housing - Replaces OMC 907774 - I/O Stern Drives 1972-86, Except Cobra
The Sierra 18-3206 is a water pump housing built for I/O stern drive cooling systems covering the 1972-86 model span, except OMC Cobra units, which use a different housing. The water pump housing is the structural body that seats the impeller and directs raw water flow through the drive's cooling circuit, so a cracked, worn, or corroded housing is a common cause of overheating and reduced water flow on affected stern drives. This housing replaces OEM number 907774 and is sold as a single unit per package.
Because fitment on OMC-based stern drives is model-specific, buyers should confirm their drive is not a Cobra unit before ordering the 18-3206 - Cobra applications use a different Sierra part number. Installing the correct housing restores proper impeller seating and water passage geometry for reliable cooling performance.
