| GLM Marine 15480 Water Pump Service Kit (15480) Aftermarket product | | Better | If the stated Switzerland origin applies to the impeller, this is likely a higher-quality rubber part (important for pump output and longevity). The gasket has no markings and the kit doesn’t include the OEM grommet, so you give up some traceability and completeness versus OEM. |

| EMP 46-46416 WATER PUMP REPAIR KIT Aftermarket product | | Better | Impeller and hardware appear well-made, suggesting a higher-quality kit than typical budget options. However, the gasket shows China origin markings and the kit lacks the OEM grommet, so material traceability and completeness are not as strong as OEM. |

| Recmar REC17400-96403 IMPELLER REPAIR KIT (REC17400-96403) Aftermarket product | | Good | Provides the basic wear items, but China origin and observed part/plate differences suggest less consistent dimensional and material control. The impeller looks acceptable visually, yet rubber quality from this sourcing is generally a higher-risk choice for a water pump. |

| Arco Marine WP015 Arco New Water Pump Repair Kit for Suzuki Outboard Aftermarket product | | Good | Includes the main service parts (impeller, plate, gasket, key) but omits the grommet included in the OEM kit, which may force reuse of an aged seal. The Taiwan-sourced rubber impeller is the biggest unknown, so it’s a functional replacement with higher variability risk than OEM. |
