Installation Guide

  1. Safety First: Disconnect the battery and ensure the engine is tilted up and secured.
  2. Access the Lower Unit: Remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the engine's midsection.
  3. Remove the Lower Unit: Carefully lower the gearcase away from the engine. The driveshaft will disengage from the powerhead.
  4. Disassemble Pump Housing: Unbolt and remove the existing water pump housing, followed by the impeller and wear plate.
  5. Remove Old Base: With the housing removed, unbolt and detach the old water pump base.
  6. Clean Surfaces: Thoroughly clean the mounting surface on the gearcase, removing any old gasket material or sealant residue.
  7. Install New Base: Place the new water pump base onto the gearcase, ensuring it is properly aligned. Secure it with the original bolts.
  8. Reassemble Pump: Install a new wear plate, impeller (with key), and housing according to your service manual's specifications.
  9. Reinstall Lower Unit: Guide the driveshaft back into the engine and reinstall the lower unit, securing it with its bolts.
  10. Final Checks: Reconnect the battery. Start the engine in a safe environment (with water supplied to the lower unit) and check for proper water output from the tell-tale stream.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this part fits my specific engine model?

A: The most reliable method is to match the OEM part number (46-812966A7) with your engine's service manual or parts diagram. You can also use our compatibility tables by checking your engine's brand, model, horsepower, and year. For Mercury owners, we recommend using the serial number guide linked above to verify your model details, as year ranges can sometimes overlap.

Q: What are the common signs that a water pump base needs replacement?

A: A failing water pump base can cause the entire pump assembly to lose its seal, leading to low water pressure and engine overheating. Visual signs include visible cracks, warping, or corrosion on the old base during an inspection. If you are replacing the impeller, it is always a good practice to inspect the base and housing for wear.

Q: How does the material of this aftermarket base compare to the OEM part?

A: This base is manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, using high-quality stainless steel for excellent durability and resistance to corrosion in marine environments. The materials are chosen to provide a reliable, long-lasting service life comparable to the original factory part.

These work for dry mouth!!
Flavor Name: Cinnamon, Size: 230 Count (Pack of 1)
Severe dry mouth from Chemo treatments. These were recommended. They work great overnight while sleeping. Stick one to the roof of your mouth and it helps. Not as good new but you don’t wake up with your tongue glued to the roof of your mouth. These are worth trying.

Not for me
Flavor Name: Cinnamon, Size: 230 Count (Pack of 1)
I was excited to try these as cinnamon is a favorite of mine. I've used the fruit flavored and liked them, but these were problematic for me. First they badly stained my night guard (which I've tried numerous things but can't remove the orange color) and second they caused some mild injury to the mucus membranes of my mouth. I've pitched them and reordered the fruit flavored.

Great reference textbook.
Format: Paperback
I love the style of the author's writing for this text. It is not too dense, and they provide humor/ a more personal approach. The way the chapters are divided is great for a quick glance. I like that it provides a section devoted to the techniques of each theory and provides different case examples. I initially went back and forth between renting and purchasing. Ultimately, I'm glad that I purchased it because I think it will be a good quick reference guide.
