SierraINTERNATIONAL INC. Teleflex 18-3392 Water Pump Kit

Perfect fit for my 78 140 ho Johnson. Pumps well and seemed to be very good quality

all good

Kit came with everything I needed to do a complete water pump replacement/rebuild for my ‘84 Evinrude 150 XP. Pump works great. Strong steady stream shooting out of the engine. Will definitely buy again!

Don't forget/fail to either order, or have on-hand these things:3M 847 Brown Nitrile High Performance Rubber and Gasket Adhesive (ASIN: B008F8WD04)Permatex 80062 High Tack Gasket Sealant (ASIN: B000HBGHB8)Some sort of grease for the impeller cup, for lubrication during installation and initial startup.This kit works great, but I'm not sure why some of the assembly isn't completed at the factory (such as the washer and impeller cup being pre-installed in the pump housing. Also, the water tube and gromet could also be pre-installed. Anyway, besides being a little more work than necessary, it's a good kit.

It DOES have the plastic pump cover as shown in my picture, even though the picture in the ad doesn't show this. I ordered the Sierra 18-3392 from this exact site for my 1979 Johnson 85hp V4. Everything fit EXCEPT the impeller itself. It would not fit over the drive shaft with out resorting to a big hammer, (which I DIDN'T) and I could not use the impeller. I went to a local boating supply shop here in the Seattle area that sold these kits over the counter, and tried a second Sierra impeller of the same part number, and it had the exact same problem - too small to fit over the shaft. Frustrated, I went to a Johnson/Evinrude dealer and got an OEM impeller - not the entire kit. It fit perfectly and slid onto the shaft as it should. It was sufficiently snug, but it was not necessary to hammer it on like the Sierra parts would have required. I'm very disappointed that two different Sierra impellers didn't fit, and had to buy a Johnson/Evinrude impeller at a significantly higher price - $45 just for the impeller. I left the Sierra impeller with the dealer since they work the Sierra rep, and they will report my problem.Some notes - I used emery paper to clean and smooth the shaft before trying to fit the Sierra impeller with no success. It was smooth and free of ridges, etc that would have prevented the Sierra impeller to slide on properly. Since I tried two of the same Sierra impellers and they both would not fit, and the OEM impeller fit perfectly, I can only conclude that the Sierra parts were not machined properly, and were a few thousands of an inch out of tolerance. The Johnson/Evinrude dealer mentioned that he has heard of other Sierra parts having tolerance problems, but didn't think it was a widespread problem across all their parts.

Now My 1991 Johnson 120 hp outboard cools like it is supposed to. Sierra is a great aftermarket choice for outboard replacement parts.

All the parts I needed for a water pump replacement were included with this purchase. Very satisfied with this product. I would recommend to anyone needing a water pump replacement.

The only problem I had with this water pump was it came with metric bolts. Thank goodness I had 4 stainless steel bolts at home. Everything else was there and it went on with no problems.

Excellent product and delivered on time as promised

Works great
