Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this fits my engine?

A: Review the "Compatible Engine Models" table to verify your engine's model, horsepower, and year range. It is crucial to confirm your engine uses the small housing design and that your original part number matches one of the numbers listed in our cross-reference section.

What are common signs of a failing water pump impeller?

A: Key indicators include the engine overheating, a weak or inconsistent water stream from the tell-tale port, or discovering the impeller has cracked, brittle, or worn vanes during a visual inspection.

How often should I replace the water pump impeller?

A: As a preventative maintenance measure, it is recommended to replace the impeller every 1 to 2 years or after every 100-200 hours of operation. Frequency should be increased if operating in saltwater or sandy/silty conditions.

Great
Size: Medium, Color: (001) Black / Black / Pitch Gray
The best pair of work / workout / casual socks I've bought in long time! They're no show on all my sneakers, incredibly comfortable and they never move.

LOVE THEM!!
Size: Small, Color: (001) Black / Black / Castlerock
LOVE! These socks are so comfortable! I wear a 5 in women's and a 3 in big kid shoes. The small fit me perfectly. I see where some say they run small but I can't say that was an issue for me. They are "snug" but thats what you want with a no show sock. I feel they have support vs the ones i used to buy at Walmart. They are very soft! I am actually buying more today and throwing my other ones in the trash!

So will not write down your foot
Size: Medium, Color: (001) Black / Black / Castlerock
I love these socks. They have a little bit of gel on the top of the heel for support in your tennis shoes and so your socks don’t write down. Very good quality.

Comfy and Stay Put
Size: Medium, Color: (002) Black / Black / Halo Gray
These socks are honestly great. They’re super thin and light, so once you have them on, you kind of forget they’re even there. No bulky feeling in your shoes at all. The best part is they actually stay on. I hate no-show socks that slide down after five minutes, and these don’t do that. The little grip on the heel really works, so you’re not constantly adjusting them all day. They’re breathable too, which is nice if your feet run warm. They dry fast and don’t get that gross sweaty feeling. And there’s no annoying seam on the toe, so nothing rubs or feels uncomfortable. Basically, they’re just comfy, stay put, and don’t cause problems — which is all I want from socks.
