Why Boat Mechanics Trust Sierra Engine Parts
Sierra stands out in the aftermarket world for rigorous testing that mimics real-world boating conditions. The 18-2067 undergoes pressure and torque simulations, ensuring it handles the torque of powerful props without extruding or hardening prematurely. Save time and avoid OEM markups while getting a part backed by marine industry standards.
Easy Installation Steps for DIYers
Replacing your oil seal doesn't require a full teardown. Start by draining the gear oil, remove the prop and water pump housing, then use a seal puller for clean extraction. Lubricate the new Sierra 18-2067 with marine grease before pressing it in evenly with a driver tool. Torque to spec, refill, and test run—most jobs wrap up in under an hour.
Pro Tip: Always inspect the mating surface for scoring; a light polish can prevent future leaks.
Enhance Engine Longevity with Proper Care
Pair this seal with regular lower unit oil changes using high-quality gear lube. Monitor for milky oil, a sign of water intrusion, and address promptly. In salty conditions, flush after every trip to minimize corrosion around the seal lip, keeping your investment protected season after season.
