I was cleaning the shop and found a extra part from my water part pump kit. O dam. after looking up the part. It is a water pump cup. The new water pump is made of plastic the old is metal. I am thinking I need to drop the case and put this in. Would I be right. The impeller was already tight going in. does the cup cut down the wear on the plastic housing? 1973 65 hp Evinrude thanks.

Dropping the case and installing that impeller cup is an excellent idea. It is a vital part of the water pump assembly.

And don't run the motor until the cup is in place.

Either the pump housing or the impeller may be trashed. You'll find out when you pull it apart.
