The base is the foundation of the water pump assembly, bolting to the gear housing and providing the sealing surface and mounting platform for the pump components above it. A cracked or warped base is a reliable source of cooling water leaks at the lower unit, and it's a part worth inspecting any time the pump is apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're doing a water pump rebuild on one of these V6 engines and the base shows cracks, erosion, or a damaged sealing surface, this is the replacement to reach for. It installs in the same location as the original with no modifications needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompatible Applications:\u003c\/b\u003e Mercury\/Mariner V6, 150-225 HP (1976-1988)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReplaces OEM Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e Mercury 96146A6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlso Crosses With:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSierra: 18-3416\u003cbr\u003e\nGLM: 12350\u003cbr\u003e\nMallory: 9-43305\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNormalized SKU:\u003c\/b\u003e 4600051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC Code:\u003c\/b\u003e 840080491905\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54081021673777,"sku":"EMP-46-00051","price":40.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/7184\/8291\/files\/emp-water-pump-base-mercury-mariner-v6-150-225-hp-46-00051-840080491905-1240764008.jpg?v=1779977728","url":"https:\/\/www.firstchoicemarine.com\/products\/emp-water-pump-base-46-00051","provider":"First Choice Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
