Sierra 18-4360 Mounting Package Chrysler s3745220 Product Description
Enhance Your Chrysler's Performance with the Sierra Mounting Package
Boat owners familiar with Chrysler outboards know the critical role engine mounts play in smooth operation and vibration control. The Sierra mounting package delivers reliable replacement parts designed specifically for Chrysler engines, ensuring your vessel runs quietly and efficiently even after years of saltwater exposure. Crafted from durable materials like high-strength rubber and corrosion-resistant hardware, this kit addresses common wear issues without compromising on quality or fit.
Key Components and Build Quality
- Precision-engineered rubber mounts that absorb shocks and reduce noise.
- Stainless steel fasteners for long-lasting hold in harsh marine environments.
- Direct OEM-style replacement for seamless integration.
- Heat- and oil-resistant construction to withstand engine bay demands.
Unlike generic hardware store fixes, these mounts restore factory-level stability, preventing misalignment that leads to premature propeller wear or hull stress.
Perfect Fit for Chrysler Outboard Models
This mounting package aligns with a range of Chrysler powerheads, making it a go-to solution for DIY mechanics and professional installers alike. It's engineered to match the bolt patterns and load capacities of popular Chrysler configurations, from inline fours to V6 setups. Always cross-reference your engine's serial number to confirm compatibility, as variations exist across model years.
Common Applications
- Chrysler 140-225 HP outboards
- Force outboards (Chrysler lineage)
- Standard and power trim models
Users report a noticeable drop in vibrations post-installation, especially on older engines where original mounts have hardened or cracked from UV and moisture exposure.
Why Upgrade to Sierra Mounts?
Sierra stands out in the aftermarket world for balancing affordability with OEM-grade performance. This package not only extends your engine's lifespan but also improves overall boating comfort. Expect tighter handling at speed, reduced crew fatigue from less cabin noise, and better fuel efficiency due to optimized power transfer.
"Swapped these in on my '85 Chrysler 150 and it's like a new motor—smooth as silk!" – Experienced boater feedback.
Investing here means fewer breakdowns mid-trip and lower long-term repair costs, as these mounts resist the electrolysis and flexing that plague inferior alternatives.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Installing this mounting package requires basic tools and about 2-4 hours, depending on access. Work on a stable trailer or lift for safety.
- Prep the Area: Disconnect battery, drain any fluids if needed, and support the engine securely with a hoist or jack stand.
- Remove Old Mounts: Unbolt transom brackets and lower unit clamps. Inspect for wear patterns indicating alignment issues.
- Clean Surfaces: Wire-brush rust and apply marine sealant to mating surfaces for a watertight seal.
- Install New Mounts: Position Sierra components, torque bolts to spec (typically 25-35 ft-lbs—check service manual), and ensure even loading.
- Test and Align: Reconnect, start engine at idle, and adjust for level thrust line. Sea trial to verify no excessive vibes.
Pro Tip: Use anti-seize on threads to ease future service. If you're dealing with a seized mount, heat gently with a torch to break free without damaging rubber.
Long-Term Maintenance for Peak Performance
To maximize the lifespan of your Sierra mounts, inspect annually or every 100 hours. Look for cracks, oil saturation, or compression set. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use, and avoid over-torquing which can crush the rubber. Pair with fresh zinc anodes and a good lower unit grease to protect the full powertrain.
Signs It's Time for Replacement
- Increased vibration or clunking at idle.
- Visible tears or hardening.
- Engine misalignment causing prop slap.
