Review on Sierra 18 3160 Brass Water Pump by Luis Tuazon

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Shaft leak after one year

Scrap. A year ago I installed one of these on my 8.1. I noticed a small leak this spring that escalated and splattered rusty water everywhere. The shaft seal is complete nonsense. The other engine still has the original MERC water pump from 13 years ago, which is not leaking. Just ordered a MERC water pump housing with impeller for a hundred dollars more. The extra cost is worth it.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Almost never
