What Impeller Does My Ilmor Engine Use? MasterCraft Impeller Guide
Trying to find the correct raw water pump impeller for your Ilmor-powered MasterCraft? The correct replacement impeller depends on your Ilmor engine model, model year, cooling system, and raw water pump configuration.
Ilmor uses several different impeller kits, including PV06764, PV06765, 50H-0170, and 51A-0191. While these parts perform the same basic function, they are not universally interchangeable.
At Bakes Online, we specialize in genuine marine engine parts for inboard ski, wakeboard, and wakesurf boats. We've put together this guide to help MasterCraft owners identify the correct Ilmor impeller and avoid ordering the wrong replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions: MasterCraft Ilmor Impellers
What impeller does my MasterCraft boat use?
The correct impeller depends on the engine installed in your MasterCraft, not just the boat model. Ilmor engines use different raw water pump impellers depending on engine family, year, and cooling system. Common OEM part numbers include PV06764, PV06765, 50H-0170, and 51A-0191.
What impeller does my Ilmor 5.7L engine use?
Select Ilmor 5.7L open-cooled engines use the PV06764 raw water pump impeller kit. Some closed-cooled configurations use different components, so confirm the cooling system and engine serial number before ordering.
What impeller does my Ilmor 6.0L engine use?
The correct impeller depends on the model year and engine configuration. Ilmor identifies 50H-0170 in its 2020-and-newer 6.0L MPI annual service kit. Earlier 6.0L engines may use PV06764 or another kit depending on their cooling configuration.
What impeller does my Ilmor 6.2L engine use?
Ilmor 6.2L engines do not all use the same impeller. Select GDI applications use 50H-0170, while Ilmor lists 51A-0191 for its Supercharged 6.2L application. Other 6.2L configurations may require a different kit.
What impeller does my Ilmor 7.4L engine use?
Ilmor identifies PV06765 in its 7.4L inboard annual service kit. Confirm compatibility with your engine serial number before purchasing.
What is the difference between Ilmor PV06764 and PV06765?
Both are genuine Ilmor raw water pump impeller kits, but they serve different engine and cooling system applications.
PV06764 includes an impeller and O-ring, while PV06765 includes an impeller, gasket, and O-ring. These parts should not be considered interchangeable without confirming manufacturer fitment.
Is Ilmor 50H-0170 the same as PV06764?
No. They are different OEM part numbers used in different Ilmor engine and pump configurations. The 50H-0170 kit is used in select GDI and newer 6.0L MPI applications, while PV06764 is associated with older open-cooled applications.
How do I identify which Ilmor engine is in my MasterCraft?
Start by locating your boat's model year and identifying the engine model. Open the engine compartment and look for Ilmor engine identification markings or a serial-number label.
For GDI engines, the engine cover may need to be removed to see the engine designation.
You should confirm:
- Boat model year
- Ilmor engine model and displacement
- Engine serial number
- Open-cooled or closed-cooled configuration
- Raw water pump model, if needed
If you're uncertain, contact a knowledgeable marine parts specialist before ordering.
How often should I replace my Ilmor raw water pump impeller?
Inspect your impeller regularly and follow the replacement interval specified in your Ilmor owner's manual. Many boat owners include impeller inspection or replacement in their annual maintenance routine.
Replacement may be needed sooner if the engine has been operated without adequate water, has overheated, or shows signs of reduced cooling water flow.
What are the symptoms of a bad Ilmor impeller?
Common warning signs include:
- Engine temperature running higher than normal
- Overheating alarms
- Reduced cooling water circulation
- Cracked, hardened, or missing impeller vanes
- Visible deterioration during inspection
These symptoms can also be caused by other cooling system problems. Inspect the complete cooling system when diagnosing an overheating issue.
Can I use an aftermarket impeller in my Ilmor engine?
Some aftermarket impellers are available for specific Ilmor raw water pump applications. Always verify the pump and engine fitment rather than matching an aftermarket impeller by appearance alone.
For example, Bakes Online carries the Sherwood X15000 Impeller with O-Ring for applications listed under Ilmor 50H-0170.
Does the raw water pump impeller cool the engine?
Yes. The raw water pump moves lake or seawater through the engine's cooling circuit or heat exchanger, depending on the cooling system design.
A damaged impeller can restrict water flow and contribute to overheating, potentially causing expensive engine damage.
