Where to buy a Water pump?

[kmac]

Good evening Tige folks. The raw water pump died on my 2003 22V with a 350 Merc. Where is the best place to buy a replacement taking price and quality into account. Also, I always like to support the Tige related vendors whenever possible.
Thanks for your help.

NAPA stores that are close to lakes tend to stock marine parts, or at least have listings for marine parts.

I generally get them from this company if you're not in too big of a hurry.

I bought mine at west marine. I definitely paid more than what I saw them for online for.

Local boat dealers will have that pump in stock , it is used in many models including I/o's. That will be the fastest way to get one.

Mine ate itself last year, the entire pump complete was under $500 and very quick and easy to swap out. I cannot remember if the Merc complete pump part includes the impeller or not so double check that. Be sure to take the old pump with you to the boat dealer as they will need to pull the pulley off the old one and put it on the new one. This is not easy to do yourself and requires special tools. This is why I recommend buying the pump from a dealer and asking them to swap the pulley. It is worth the slightly higher price versus online.
