It seals the water pump housing at the lower unit, keeping the cooling water circuit intact and preventing leaks between the pump body and the mating surface. It is a small part that does a critical job, and it is the kind of thing you replace any time you are already in there servicing the water pump impeller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart 8M0224241 is a direct OEM replacement from Mercury Marine, cut to the correct dimensions and material spec for the application. Using the correct gasket matters here since an improper seal at the water pump can allow cooling water to bypass the impeller circuit, which leads to overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart Number: 8M0224241\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVendor: Mercury Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType: Water pump gasket, lower outboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFunction: Seals the water pump housing at the lower unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFitment: Direct OEM replacement for compatible Mercury outboard engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are doing a water pump service, this gasket should be replaced along with the impeller rather than reused.
