Wholesale marine was about $15-20 less than West Marine for the Sierra-branded one for my boat. The real question for me was Sierra or OEM, but nobody really had much bad to say about Sierra so it was hard to justify paying more.

I'm on ebay. I find the cheapest oem one on the Internet and buy that. Which I think wholesale marine is right there. I will only use a oem impeller. It's 25 bucks. I'm a oem kind of guy.

NAPA carries Sierra, at least for Mercruiser, and only a few bucks more than the internet. Nice when you want it now because you find some elusive free time to wrench.

I second (or third) the OEM on eBay option. I have spares via that route.

Shorts marine got my money this year.

Steer clear of the Sierra brand impellers. Installed a new Sierra once that wouldn't pump for chit. Swapped in the OEM version and all was well.

What ever smart ass. No 2. Lol I don't count last year as a season.
Yes I only use oem stuff on my engine. That comes from working in a dealership.
