Quicksilver 862040 Seawater Pump Lip Seal for MerCruiser Marine Engines

The Quicksilver 862040 is an OEM replacement impeller shaft lip seal designed for MerCruiser seawater pumps. This critical seal component is used on a wide range of MerCruiser sterndrive and inboard engines, including 5.7L, 6.2L, 6.3L, and 8.1L models equipped with both Alpha and Bravo drive systems.

Key Features:

• Genuine Mercury Marine / Quicksilver OEM part for guaranteed fitment and quality
• Pre-lubricated outer shaft seal for reliable installation
• Designed for brass seawater pump assemblies on later model MerCruiser engines
• Helps prevent water intrusion into pump bearings that can lead to costly repairs
• Also known by part numbers 26-862040 and 710-26-862040

This seal is a critical wear component that should be replaced at the first sign of pump leakage to prevent damage to internal bearings. Installation requires retaining compound on the outer seal surface when installing into the pump body. Regular inspection and timely replacement of this seal helps ensure reliable cooling system operation and extends the service life of your raw water pump assembly.
