My engine is 2005 Mercruiser 5.7 Bravo Horizon MPI, serial #0w328501. I have a bronze sea water pump with a bronze cover, but my water pump cover has a replaceable SS wear plate (part number 8M2014176). The confusion comes from the fact that I don't see the wear plate listed in the Mercruiser catalog, and it is my understanding that when Mercruiser re-designed the water pump cover to incorporate a wear plate, they made the cover out of plastic, not bronze... So the question is, is there an OEM brass version with a replaceable wear plate?
In other words, my water pump housing cover looks similar to the one pictured on the left, except mine is made from bronze and it has an air pump cylinder and fittings. I checked the catalog once again and the only part number that I can find for my particular water pump cover is 863674A05, but I don't see any revisions or superseded part numbers, and there's no mention of a wear plate...
