The water pump gasket on these engines seals the pump housing to the powerhead, keeping coolant flow directed through the system and preventing the kind of slow leak that goes unnoticed until the engine temperature gauge starts climbing. It is a small part in the grand scheme of a big outboard, but it is doing important work every time the engine runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EMP 27-00670 Water Pump Gasket is designed specifically for Mercury and Mariner V6 outboards in the 135 to 220 horsepower range. Unlike some gaskets that cover multiple engine families, this one is purpose-built for the V6 application, which means the sealing surface geometry and material are matched to exactly what these engines need. It is a direct replacement for Mercury part numbers 426311 and 42631, so if you are cross-referencing from either of those numbers, you are in the right place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEMP manufactures this gasket to OEM specifications, so fit and sealing performance match the original. If you are doing a water pump service on one of these engines, this gasket should be on the bench before you start. Pulling a pump and reusing the old gasket is the kind of shortcut that tends to bring you right back to the same job a season later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility and specs at a glance:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits Mercury and Mariner V6 outboards, 135 to 220 horsepower\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePurpose-built for V6 applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplaces Mercury 426311 and 42631\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt to OEM specifications by EMP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect replacement, no modification required for listed applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNormalized SKU:\u003c\/b\u003e 2700670\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC Code:\u003c\/b\u003e 840080459882\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54080986612017,"sku":"EMP-27-00670","price":2.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/7184\/8291\/files\/emp-water-pump-gasket-27-00670-840080459882-1237281074.jpg?v=1778307645","url":"https:\/\/www.firstchoicemarine.com\/products\/emp-water-pump-gasket-27-00670","provider":"First Choice Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
