Sierra Sea Water Pump 18-3600, Replaces 46-807151A12, Fits V6 & V8 Engines with V-Belt and 1-Piece Pump
The Sierra 18-3600 is a complete sea water pump built to circulate raw cooling water through the engine on applicable marine V6 and V8 inboard/sterndrive setups. It is designed for engines that use a v-belt drive and a one-piece pump housing configuration, making it a direct fit for that engine family rather than a universal pump. This is a full pump assembly, so it installs in place of the original unit to restore proper raw water flow and keep engine temperatures in check.
As a raw water circulation component, this pump is a wear item that should be inspected and serviced periodically, since impeller wear and housing fatigue are common causes of overheating in marine engines. When the impeller inside the 18-3600 eventually wears out, Sierra part number 18-3237 is the matching impeller repair kit for this pump, so owners can rebuild rather than replace the full assembly at the first sign of reduced flow. The 18-3600 carries a limited warranty and is intended as a direct equivalent to the original engine manufacturer pump it replaces.
