It is designed as a direct equivalent for Mercury Marine part number 46-96148A8, giving owners a straightforward path to restoring proper raw water circulation and engine cooling without sourcing a marked-up OEM part. The kit is constructed from a combination of aluminum and stainless steel components, materials chosen for their resistance to corrosion in the marine environment and their ability to hold up under continuous exposure to raw water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a complete kit, it is intended to give the installer the parts needed to service the water pump in one package rather than requiring multiple individual purchases. The pump plays a critical role in an inboard or sterndrive engine's cooling system, pulling in raw water and circulating it through the engine to prevent overheating, so using a properly fitted replacement kit like the 18-3317 helps protect the engine from heat-related damage. The kit ships as a single unit and is backed by a 90 day manufacturer warranty, giving buyers confidence in the build quality of the aluminum and stainless steel construction.\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 18-3317\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercruiser Water Pumps \u0026amp; Impellers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum, Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.99 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.3 x 5.3 x 4.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 030999315809\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Service Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a replacement for Mercury Marine engines originally equipped with water pump part number 46-96148A8.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMercury Marine 46-96148A8\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sierra 18-3317 Water Pump Kit used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a marine engine water pump kit used to service the raw water cooling system on a Mercury Marine engine, replacing the pump components so the engine keeps circulating raw water for cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-3317 replace Mercury Marine 46-96148A8?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-3317 Water Pump Kit is designed as a replacement for Mercury Marine part number 46-96148A8.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-3317 water pump kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-3317 Water Pump Kit weighs 0.99 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 18-3317 water pump kit made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from a combination of aluminum and stainless steel, materials chosen to resist corrosion in raw water marine cooling systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the package dimensions of the 18-3317 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-3317 Water Pump Kit ships in a package measuring 5.3 inches long by 5.3 inches wide by 4.6 inches high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-3317 a genuine part or an aftermarket kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-3317 is sold under the Sierra brand as a water pump kit engineered to replace Mercury Marine 46-96148A8, rather than being sourced directly from Mercury Marine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a warranty included with the 18-3317 water pump kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-3317 Water Pump Kit is backed by a 90 day manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many pieces come in the 18-3317 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-3317 Water Pump Kit is sold as a single unit, with a unit count of one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat UPC is associated with the Sierra 18-3317 water pump kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-3317 Water Pump Kit carries UPC 030999315809.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988143321307,"sku":"SIE-18-3317","price":56.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-3317_lg__43794.1558127345.500.750.jpg?v=1785188471","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-3317-water-pump-kit-for-mercury-marine-115-hp-6-cyl-outboards-replaces-46-96148a8","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
