Yes it is a two stroke and a 1971 model. For the water pump the best is to get a manual. You can find some videos on you tube or go to boatinfo the library.com.

Your engine is a 1971 the 4106D is model number. The water pump is easy to change I suggest buying the water pump repair kit because it will have all new hardware the BRP part # 379770.

^^^ Good advice but just so you know you will need to know if you just replace the impeller. Before ordering there is two different choices depending on if you have a plastic housing, or a metal housing. If you order a kit I think it will come with a plastic housing and quite expensive around 115 dollars.When I did my 1976 I bought kit number 0379763 witch gives you an impeller, 2 screws, the water tube grommet and a drive key. For 19 dollars ,and I also bought the wear plate for 11 dollars. The 0379763 kit does not include the housing and the impeller is for the metal housing.Do not forget to replace the O-ring on the top of the drive shaft.
