Sierra 18-70937

Keep your marine engine running smoothly with the Sierra 18-70937 cylinder head hose, a reliable aftermarket replacement for the original BRP part number 340976. Designed specifically for demanding on-water conditions, this hose delivers exceptional durability and performance, helping prevent coolant leaks that can lead to overheating and costly repairs. Whether you're maintaining a personal watercraft or outboard setup, this component ensures optimal engine cooling efficiency.

Superior Build Quality and Materials

Crafted from high-grade, heat- and pressure-resistant rubber, the Sierra 18-70937 withstands the rigors of marine environments, including exposure to saltwater, vibrations, and extreme temperatures. Unlike standard hoses that crack or soften over time, this one maintains its shape and flexibility, providing a secure fit that reduces the risk of air pockets in the cooling system. Engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications, it offers peace of mind for boaters who demand quality without compromise.

• Direct replacement for BRP 340976
• Precise dimensions for easy, leak-free installation
• Resistant to ozone, oil, and abrasion
• Meets SAE J30R9 standards for marine applications

Perfect Compatibility for BRP Engines

This cylinder head hose fits a range of BRP-powered watercraft and engines, making it a go-to choice for Sea-Doo enthusiasts and other PWC owners. It's essential for models relying on the 340976 OEM hose, ensuring seamless integration without modifications. Always verify your engine's service manual to confirm fitment, but Sierra's precision manufacturing minimizes guesswork.

Common applications include various Rotax-based marine engines found in personal watercraft from the late 1990s through early 2000s models, where reliable cooling is critical for high-rev performance.

Benefits That Outperform Expectations

Installing the Sierra 18-70937 isn't just about replacement—it's about enhancing reliability. A failing cylinder head hose can cause pressure drops, leading to warped heads or seized pistons. This upgrade restores factory-level cooling flow, improves fuel efficiency by maintaining optimal temperatures, and extends engine life. Boaters report fewer maintenance downtimes and better overall throttle response after swapping in this part.

"Switched to Sierra after an OEM hose burst mid-ride. No issues since—solid as rock." – Experienced PWC rider

Simple Installation Guide

Replacing your cylinder head hose takes under an hour with basic tools. Here's a step-by-step approach tailored for DIY mechanics:

1. Drain the cooling system and disconnect the battery for safety.
2. Loosen clamps on the old hose and carefully remove it, noting routing to avoid kinks.
3. Inspect connecting fittings for corrosion; clean or replace as needed.
4. Slide the new Sierra 18-70937 into place, ensuring full seating on barbs.
5. Tighten clamps evenly (do not overtighten), refill coolant, and pressure-test for leaks.
6. Run the engine to operating temperature and check for proper flow.

Tools You'll Need

• Screwdriver set or hose clamp pliers
• Drain pan and funnel
• Coolant mixture (per manufacturer specs)
• Gloves and safety glasses
