PartX Recommends

This part sits in the cooling-water pump stack and typically requires removing the lower unit to service, so rework is costly and leaks can have serious consequences. The OEM assembly is application-specific and most likely to deliver correct water-passage alignment and durable sealing with the included gaskets and pre-installed seal.
