You want a marine grade water pump. O'riellys doesn't have that. They do however have plenty of crap...
The differences being stainless shaft, ceramic seal and stainless backing plate plus bronze impeller.

will add also in the marine industry GLM as we all say Good Luck Marine. Every single part from them is China made no matter what it is. Some of their parts are good but some of it is junkie right out of the box.
For the average boater their exhaust manifolds are not bad at all. The aluminum ones as well are pretty decent. I do not like any of their rubber products like bellows, impellers along with carb kits & ignition components and so on.
The price of this circ pump is extremely cheap compared to Merc retail of 222.50 and wholesale. I can not even buy one wholesale thru merc or any other aftermarkets for what the GLM one is selling retail for. It makes me wonder where are they cutting the costs ?
That is dirt cheap for a True marine circ pump. Also just think what DM paid for it to make his profit. I can not see how they even can make it for what he paid for it along with what GLM is making off of him as well. What GLM buy in is 38 bucks for this. DM buy in is 65 bucks and retails for 95 bucks.

So because mercruisers pump is twice the price it's superior right?! Mercruiser is the king of taking something and simply marking it up because they have placed their name on it. I will agree that some stuff from the ROC is junk, however they have been forging steel for many more years than half of the slobs in this country, so I wouldn't say just because it's Chinese it's garbage. That's a truly ignorant statement(if that's what you are inferring). Hell half of the folks on here are running Chinese 4340 cranks in their engines, and there is absolutely not a thing wrong with that.
The GLM pumps work and are a true marine pump. But if someone feels better buying the overpriced OEM that's their choice.
