Overview

When it comes to keeping your outboard cool, every seal matters. The Quicksilver 822189 Upper Water Pump Gasket is made for Mercury 25–60HP 2-stroke and 4-stroke outboards, and Force 75HP engines.

Performance & Practical Benefits

The 822189 gasket seals the water pump housing to prevent leaks that can drop cooling pressure and overheat your engine. Over time, gaskets flatten or crack, especially if exposed to salt or heat — replacing it during maintenance keeps your cooling system tight and efficient.

It’s an easy fix that makes a big difference in how your outboard performs. A few minutes of work and a few dollars spent now can prevent a costly overheat or breakdown later.

Why Choose OEM

Mercury’s OEM gaskets are made to the same specs as the ones your motor came with from the factory. They seal perfectly, resist wear, and stand up to constant marine use. Aftermarket gaskets may not align correctly or use softer materials that fail early.

A genuine Quicksilver gasket guarantees the right fit and pressure seal, keeping your cooling system performing as designed.
