Is this the proper Impeller kit for my force

[riderfan77]

Hi, I am still quite the newbie so I thought I would ask for clarity before I order a new impeller kit. I have a 1989 Force 85 hp serial(?) 856X9E
i have looked around and I think this would be the kit for me.

Can any of you tell me if this is correct, and if not point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there, the OEM kit that would also include a new impeller "housing" is part number FK1069 going in the $119.50 - $96.89 range online...Cheaper on ebay.

If you look at the gasket design between the two photos, they don't seem to match. Looking further there doesn't seem to be an aftermarket "kit" available for your engine model.

There are aftermarket individual parts if you want them without the housing.

Impeller # 18-3030 http://www.iboats.com/Boat-Parts-Ac... --search_in_category.f--session_id.414725173

Quick tip for you! 856X9E is your engine model number, do an online search with the number for a parts catalog of your engine.

That's not the right kit. For your serial#
Unless your housing is in REALLLLLLY bad shape, you don't need to change it.
In fact the only thing you need is the impeller and a finger full of grease.

F523065-1

WATER PUMP IMPELLER This is for the housing without the stainless cup. In 89 they changed to a different style pump. It included the stainless cup. The pics you posted are for the later style pump. Post a pic of your pump, turn it upside down and show the inside.

My lower unit's are over 20years old. The impeller housings have been in salt most of their lives and they are still usable.

Thanks for the replies, I will look around and see what I can find. I wont be pulling this apart for a couple months yet. Too much snow around here now and she is in storage.
