    Well, I compared the OEM 763758 and the $21.29 Amazon water pump kits and found a couple things different between the two. The parts in the Chinglish kit are all individually wrapped and sealed. Not so for the BRP kit. The impeller drive pin in the Chinglish kit is also knurled, which keeps it tight in the driveshaft. Two stars. The two kits seem identical in every way except the OEM kit has aluminum inserts in the housings screw holes and the Chinglish housings have brass inserts, which I prefer. Aluminum and salt don’t mix very well so that’s one more star for the offshore pump. The OEM liner has small manufacturing indentations in it on either side of the bleed hole while the Chinglish one is perfectly smooth and the OEM wear plate was scratched a bit straight out of the box. Two more stars for the offshore pump. The impellers were cold so it was hard to see if one was more pliable than the other but they both felt the same. The impellers, liners, and gaskets all measured the same so I don’t really think one kit is much better than the other except for the price but I am tending to favor the Amazon kit.
