Alpha 1 Gen 2 impeller question on part numbers

jam1ej201 · May 2, 2012

So I have read on here a few times that the correct part number for water pump impeller kit (without case and wear plate) is 47-43026Q06. However, in dealing with my local supplier he is adamant that this part will not work in the alpha 1 gen 2 outdrive. He even went so far as to call merc and this was his response:

"It?s no wonder and not your fault about this confusion. First off I called Mercury directly. I know that all of the Alpha One Gen 2 outdrives use the same kit (since they were first made), but I wanted to make sure I wasn?t going crazy. I talked to both the Mercruiser Outdrive and Mercury Outboards sections. Techs in both sections told me that the 47-43026Q06 kit has never and never will fit an Alpha One, Gen 2 outdrive."

The only kit listed is part number 817275A4 for the whole kit.

Just looking for some clarity and reassurance on the issue.

Thanks

Here is a page out of the 2010 Quicksilver (Merc) catalog. Print it out and take it to them. I highlighted too.

Just an FYI.
The reason the parts people don't know this, is because in the dealers parts program, Merc in it's infinite wisdom only shows the kit used on the bigger outboards, and fails to show it on any of the Mercruiser Alpha I Gen II catalogs as even available. All the parts (gaskets, plate, impeller, etc.) are the same parts, just Mercruiser doesn't list it.

Sometimes I wonder how Mercruiser got to be as big as they are.

Also try googling the part number to see what it says it fits.

Fun Times,

the poster had the correct number, it's the dealers that couldn't figure it out and were telling him it wouldn't fit.
You probably should send that info to the other dealers so they understand.
