Performance & Real-World Benefits
The 803750A05 upper water pump housing plays a crucial role in maintaining steady cooling water circulation through your engine. Over time, housings can wear or deform, leading to poor water flow or leaks that compromise cooling efficiency. Replacing it with a genuine Quicksilver housing restores proper water pressure and ensures the pump runs smoothly.
The reinforced nylon construction offers the best mix of strength and flexibility — it’s lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and built to handle marine heat cycles without cracking. With an OEM fit, you can expect a clean installation and long-lasting reliability.
Why Choose Mercury OEM
The Quicksilver 803750A05 is a genuine Mercury Marine component, built to the same standards used in factory assemblies. While aftermarket housings might claim compatibility, they often use cheaper plastics that can warp, causing leaks or uneven water flow.
Mercury’s OEM design is tested under real marine conditions for precision fit, strength, and consistent performance. When it comes to your cooling system, the right fit matters — and this one is built to last.
