Mercury – Quicksilver Water Pump Face Plate Kit | Cooling System Component | Durable Metal Construction | 19700A2

Overview

Your outboard’s cooling system depends on precision and flow, and the Mercury Marine 19700A2 Quicksilver Water Pump Face Plate Kit helps keep it running at peak efficiency. Built for Mercury 35–60 horsepower outboards, this heavy-duty metal face plate provides a solid, wear-resistant surface for the impeller to operate against. Designed and manufactured to Mercury’s OEM standards, it restores proper sealing, pressure, and performance in your water pump — ensuring your engine stays cool, protected, and ready for another season on the water.

Performance & Practical Benefits

Over time, wear and corrosion can create small gaps or uneven surfaces inside your water pump, reducing flow and pressure. The 19700A2 face plate kit restores that smooth, factory-tight seal your cooling system depends on. Its solid metal construction provides a reliable surface for the impeller, preventing damage and ensuring proper water movement through the pump housing.

This part installs easily and provides immediate benefits — steady cooling water flow, consistent temperature regulation, and added protection for your outboard’s impeller and housing. It’s a simple way to keep your cooling system efficient and your boat running cool, season after season.

Why Buy OEM

Precision matters when it comes to water pump components. The Quicksilver 19700A2 is a genuine Mercury Marine part, engineered and tested to fit exactly as the original. Aftermarket alternatives may look similar but can be slightly off in thickness or flatness, which can reduce efficiency and wear out impellers prematurely.

With OEM Mercury quality, you get parts built from materials that stand up to real-world marine conditions — heat, vibration, and corrosion. It’s a straightforward, dependable upgrade that helps ensure your cooling system performs like new.
