In my case was a Mercury.
I have never used aftermarket.
Also relevant, in my case I had OEM Gen 7 pumps where they reduced the shaft diameter compared to the older pumps.
The Hardin Marine stainless ones have bigger shafts and use the old impeller.

This is a good point that everyone should take note of too. The merc housings have quite a sharp moulding lip on them that internally that it's worth carefully sanding flush.

Of course they are, as are most everything, as it has been for years/decades.

There's still plenty of NOS around gotta hunt for it.
