Description
Overview
Argo Water Pump Female Drive is the pump-side coupling that mates with a cam-side adaptor to run flexible impeller raw-water pumps cleanly from the camshaft. Because it removes belts and pulleys, it frees space at the front of the engine and reduces maintenance. For ordering accuracy, this variant is identified as Part Number AM1047A.
Features (Argo Water Pump Female Drive)
• Female slot coupling that engages the cam-side male lug for positive drive.
• Compact cylindrical form for close-clearance installs in tight inboard bays.
• Durable metal construction suited to marine service and easy inspection.
• Belt-free arrangement that minimises slip, noise and alignment issues.

Compatibility and Fitment
This female drive suits engines configured for cam-driven raw-water pumps where the pump accepts a female-slot coupler. Therefore, verify your pump input and the cam-side adaptor style before purchase. Check clearances, measure the pump input recess, and confirm that the cam-side plate matches the male lug geometry. Reference AM1047A during parts selection to avoid mix-ups with similar components.
Compliance and Safety
Use quality, grade-marked fasteners and apply the engine maker’s torque values. After fitting the coupling and pump, rotate the engine by hand; ensure smooth engagement and zero interference. Additionally, inspect the coupler during routine services and replace it if you see fretting, rounding of slots or abnormal wear.
Marine Applications (Argo Water Pump Drive)
Boats with cramped engine bays benefit immediately, as the belt-free layout reduces clutter. Ski boats and performance inboards also gain consistent pump drive linked directly to cam speed. Moreover, the simplified front-end improves access to ignition components and timing covers during maintenance.
