Some of the early SJ's had a different spline count IIRC, so you may want to check with a mercury dealer and have them cross reference your pump serial.

Unless you already bought it, solas makes a better replacement impeller, and ALOT cheaper. Also, your impeller probably isn't the problem, the wear ring tends to take a beating and one common trick is to fill it in with jbweld. (the wear ring is more expensive than the impeller, go figure...)
