Mercruiser 888

I have a 1971 IMP Aztec with a Mercuiser 888 (serial#3107809) and i'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I need to replace the gimbal bearing and impeeler and it seems like the right time to replace the gimbal bellows also. iBoats sells this kit: Mallory Seal Kit, Transom 9-72901. Will this work for my engine/drive? Also i'm looking at this kit on ebay for the impeller:

I'd like to order these today if someone can tell me they will probably work.

Thanks,
Duke

Yes, that water pump kit will work. I would also make sure you get an alignment tool after you replace the gimbal bearing to make sure you are properly aligned with the coupler. You will need a beefy set of snap ring pliers to remove the snap ring and gimbal bearing.

Impeller done. Now if I can get someone to confirm that I've chosen the correct the correct transom seal kit w/gimbal bearing.
