I have a 1990 4.3L OMC Cobra in a ski boat. Last time i took the boat out i heard a metal on metal sound coming from the engine compartment. Upon closer investigation, i saw that my water pump was pretty much rusted through almost exposing the shaft. I removed the water pump from the front of the engine block but now im having trouble finding a replacement. The part number on the old water pump is GM 10108455. I cant find this water pump anywhere and everyone i talk to tells me they have one that will work but nothings matching up. Does anyone have any idea what new model replaces the GM 10108455 water pump? I found one from Sierra that looks the same except where it lists the comprable model numbers, mine isnt included.

Re: upper water pump

The casting number is just that. The number for the circulation pump outer casting. Not the completed pump.
Get a marine pump with the proper back cover, bushings, and seals to withstand the marine enviornment.
You can Click Here for the OMC parts lookup. Just follow sterndrive to your pump and get the REAL number you need.
