there is differences in water pumps some have metal propellers and some have plastic .. which means different bearings in the center shaft.!!!! most after markets go plastic.... = junk

pawaggiegirl

so what would you recomend?

useitorlooseit

well its a toss up cuz the plastic is lighter on the bearing and the metal is heaver on the bearing so it depends on who has the better bearing i will compare the too visualy and see which are the better. just buy feel and quality of the mold. its not a hard job but i would go with a metal propeller !

thanks.... this helps have good one...

mike albo

there is also standerd and reverse rotation
