The serial number is unique to your drive.... The only person who knows it is you...

Ya Well there must simply be a waterpump kit specific to the alpha one gen one drive my marine supplier is playing idiot with me so im just going over his head he doesnt like to sell parts he just wants to push new boats off on people ive watched him do it he has refused to order parts for me before saying it isnt worth it for me to replace it i just need a new boat unfortunately hes the only one around for miles hence him still being in business

*****Without your drive serial number, I say this with reservation*****

It is most likely (again, without the serial number I can't be conclusive), that if the engine and drive are the same year as the boat, it will be an Alpha One.

That said, and heeding the warnings above...

Water pump impeller only 47-89984T4
Repair kit 47-89984Q5 (includes base plate and gaskets)
Lower base kit 46-44292A3
Upper housing kit 46-96148A8

I hope this is what you want, but you MUST verify the serial number of your drive. It needs to be in the range 6854393 to 0D469858....

Please let us know how it goes.

(A good idea would be that the next time you're at the boat, record your engine, drive and transom serial numbers. Write them down, and use them here on this site. When you have those numbers, we can be completely confident we are giving you the right advice on service and parts... Without them, we are just guessing. And that can become very expensive, very quickly....)

Re: Mercruiser Alpha One 5.7L

the engine and drive are the same as the year the previous owner bought it new he wouldve had no reason to lie about that it is an alpha one gen 1 i can tell by looking at it again though i do not have my serial numbers and i dont want to purchase an expensive waterpump kit just to find out it is the wrong one the engine is a 350 chevy small block again i can tell by looking but im not sure how easy it will be to find a serial number on the engine but i will try to get what youre looking for so i can have this boat on the water labor day

Quite often the year of the boat is not the year of the engine... It's not like a car where the body and engine are made by the same company and installed in that particular year... Boat builders don't build engines, they just buy them from Mercury/OMC/Volvo etc.. Very common for a boat builder to buy a year old engine and put it in a new boat...

Serial number locations....

Transom serial number

Engine serial number

Drive serial number
