Sierra 18-3239 Impeller Repair Kit for Mercury/Mariner Outboard, Replaces 47-89981
The Sierra 18-3239 Impeller Repair Kit is a complete water pump rebuild kit for Mercury/Mariner outboard motors. It bundles the three components needed to restore proper cooling system operation in one purchase: a replacement impeller, an impeller plate, and an O-ring, so the water pump housing can be rebuilt without hunting down individual parts separately. Keeping the water pump impeller in good condition is essential to outboard engine health, since a worn or cracked impeller reduces raw water flow to the engine and can lead to overheating. This kit is built to the fit and function of the original equipment parts it replaces, using materials designed to hold up in continuous exposure to saltwater and freshwater marine environments. The kit is intended for Mercury/Mariner outboard engines and is a straightforward drop-in replacement during routine water pump service or when rebuilding a water pump housing. Sierra manufactures marine parts to OEM specifications and supplies engine manufacturers and boat builders with replacement components, so this kit is engineered to meet or exceed the performance of the original Mercury/Mariner parts it replaces.
