Detroit Diesel 16V149 Non-Turbo Marine Water Pump - Aftermarket

Detroit Diesel 16V149 Raw Water Pump & Cooling System Components

The Detroit Diesel 16V149 non-turbo marine engine is a powerhouse used in commercial vessels, offshore equipment, and heavy-duty marine applications. To maintain reliable operation, its raw water pump and cooling system components play a crucial role in regulating engine temperature, protecting against overheating, and ensuring continuous-duty performance in harsh marine environments. Below is a detailed catalog of raw water pumps and related cooling components specifically for the Detroit Diesel 16V149.

Marine Raw Water Pump for Detroit Diesel 16V149

The raw water pump is the heart of the cooling system, pulling seawater into the heat exchangers, oil coolers, and fuel coolers. This seawater removes heat from the engine, preventing damage caused by high operating temperatures.

• Marine Water Pump for Detroit Diesel 71, 92, and 149 Series Engines
  Bidirectional design (functions turning right or left)
  Port Type: 2” Flange
  Impeller Height: 4 ½”
  Non-splined shaft for durability under continuous load.

This pump is engineered to handle the extreme flow requirements of the 16V149 while withstanding long-term exposure to seawater.

Marine Water Pump Repair Kits

Repair kits are available to restore worn pumps, extending service life without requiring a full replacement.

• Raw Water Pump Repair Kit with Shaft
  Compatible with Detroit Diesel 8V149, 12V149, and 16V149.
  Includes replacement shaft and internal components for pumps with 4-screw covers and 4 ½” impellers.

• Raw Water Pump Repair Kit without Shaft

• Thermostat (160 Degrees)
  Alternative option depending on climate and operating conditions.

• Thermostat Seal
  Ensures leak-free installation between housing and thermostat.

Heat Exchangers & Related Components

Heat exchangers transfer heat from the engine coolant to seawater, ensuring the engine remains within safe operating temperatures.

• Rebuilt Heat Exchanger Core
  For Detroit Diesel 12V71, 16V71, 12V92, 16V92, and 16V149 engines.

• Heat Exchanger Gasket
  Ensures a reliable seal between exchanger and housing.

Zinc Anodes

Zinc anodes protect the raw water cooling system from galvanic corrosion caused by seawater exposure.

• Marine Zinc Anode with Brass Plug
