Water Pump Impeller Kit 0984461 0765582 984461 18-3212-1 for OMC Cobra Cobra SX Sterndrive 2.3 3.0 4.3 5.0 5.7 7.5 L with Liner Plate Seal — Germany Local Warehouse
Product Overview
Water pump rebuild kit, a cooling system part for OMC Cobra and Cobra SX sterndrives from 2.3 L to 7.5 L and 140 HP to 460 HP. It replaces OMC 0984461 and 0765582 and crosses to Sierra 18-3212-1, and the box carries the impeller 983895, the stainless liner 91184, the wear plate 911703, the face seal 911704 and the housing gasket 911702. Net weight 243 g. Shipped from our Germany local warehouse.
The liner is what makes this kit worth having over an impeller alone. On the Cobra pump the stainless liner is pressed into the housing, and it is the liner, not the housing, that scores when the impeller fails, so liner, plate and seal go in together and the pump is rebuilt once instead of twice in a season.
These drives were built from 1986 to 1993 and the same kit was sold across the OMC, Johnson and Evinrude dealer counters, so a Johnson or Evinrude badged Cobra takes the same 0984461.

Liner, Plate and Seal: Why the Full Kit

|---|---|---|
| Impeller 983895 | Vanes set, crack or tear | Bent tips, cracks at the root |

| Housing gasket 911702 | Compressed flat, weeps water | A wet joint at the housing |
| Housing bore itself | Scores and will not hold a new liner square | A scored housing needs a new one, not a liner |

German Boats and the Lower Unit
| How the Boat Is Used | Effect on the Pump | What To Do |
|---|---|---|
| Baltic and North Sea salt water | Salt dries on the vanes in the housing | Flush on muffs after each trip |
| Berlin and Mecklenburg lakes | Silt and weed reach the intake | Check the intake grille before launch |
| Boat ashore October to April | Trapped water freezes in the pump | Drain the lower unit, store the drive down |
| Long idling at the mooring | Vanes take a set against the liner | Renew the kit before the season |
| Shallow slipway with sand | Grit scores the liner and plate | Inspect the liner every change |
| Freshwater cooling with the drive up | Blades burn in seconds | Never start with the drive raised |
Fitting Notes
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Check the drive is an OMC Cobra or Cobra SX, the earlier Stringer uses a different pump |
| 2 | Check the housing bore for scoring before pressing the new liner 91184 in |
| 3 | Drain the gear lube first and look at it, milky lube means the seal has been leaking |
| 4 | Note the trim rod position before dropping the lower unit |
| 5 | Rotate the driveshaft while pushing the impeller in so the blades fold the right way |
| 6 | Fit the wear plate 911703, the face seal 911704 and the gasket 911702 in that order |
| 7 | Refill the lube to the level plug and check for milky oil again after the first run |
| 8 | Run on muffs and confirm the telltale before the first trip, then check the temperature on the water |
