The Mercruiser 260 Water Pump is designed for marine applications with the following key specifications and technical properties:
Size: Typically fits Mercruiser 260 engines, with impeller dimensions around 3.5 inches in diameter.
Grade: Marine-grade components for corrosion resistance and durability.
Viscosity: Compatible with standard marine engine coolants and water, no specific viscosity requirements for the pump itself.
Buoyancy: Not applicable, as it is a fixed mechanical component.
Material: Housing is typically made of cast aluminum or stainless steel for corrosion resistance; impeller is often neoprene or rubber for flexibility and wear resistance.
Seals: Nitrile or viton seals for water and chemical resistance.
Mounting: Bolt-on design compatible with Mercruiser 260 engine configurations.
Flow Rate: Designed to meet the cooling demands of the Mercruiser 260 engine, typically around 20-30 GPM (gallons per minute).
Operating Temperature: Suitable for marine environments, with a typical range of -20°F to 200°F (-29°C to 93°C).
Pressure Rating: Typically operates at 10-15 PSI under normal conditions.
