This kit includes the water pump housing along with the grommet and other components needed to restore proper cooling flow to the powerhead, making it a straightforward way to address a failing or worn factory pump without hunting down individual parts separately. Consistent cooling flow protects the engine block and exhaust housing from overheating, so keeping the water pump in good working order is a routine maintenance item for outboard owners running E-Tec 40\/50\/60 HP motors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this kit comes with the housing already included, installation follows the pump housing back to the driveshaft area of the lower unit, replacing the original OMC pump assembly in one step. The kit is manufactured to replace OEM part number 5006511, so it installs as a direct equivalent to the original factory pump kit on applicable E-Tec 40\/50\/60 HP outboards.\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 18-3453\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water Pump Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Housing, grommet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evinrude E-Tec 40\/50\/60 HP outboards (all)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282200343\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvinrude E-Tec 40 HP outboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvinrude E-Tec 50 HP outboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvinrude E-Tec 60 HP outboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e5006511\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sierra 18-3453 water pump kit designed to fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-3453 is built for Evinrude E-Tec 40, 50, and 60 HP outboard motors, covering all versions of those horsepower ratings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-3453 kit include the pump housing?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the housing is included with the Sierra 18-3453 kit, so you are not left needing to reuse or source the housing separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat OEM part number does the Sierra 18-3453 replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e It replaces OEM number 5006511, so it can be ordered as a direct equivalent for that factory water pump kit on E-Tec 40\/50\/60 HP outboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-3453 water pump kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit weighs 1.06 pounds as shipped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the same kit as the Sierra 18-3454?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 18-3454 is a different Sierra kit made for Johnson\/Evinrude 40, 50, 25 Jet, and 30 Jet models from 1995-Up and replaces OEM 438592, while the 18-3453 is specific to E-Tec 40\/50\/60 HP outboards and replaces OEM 5006511.
