It is designed to be used with the 18-2387 drain screw and directly replaces OEM number 311598, restoring a proper seal on the gearcase drain\/fill port so gear lube stays in and water stays out. The washer is sold as a package of 5, giving you spares on hand for routine gear lube changes rather than a single-use part that leaves you without a backup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis washer fits outboards of 40, 48, and 50 horsepower with a 15 inch shaft, on model years 1993 and up. Because it is a low-cost, high-turnover maintenance part, it is worth replacing at every gear lube service rather than reusing an old, compressed washer, which can lead to a poor seal and lube leakage or water intrusion into the gearcase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e EMP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27-00957-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drain\/Fill Plug Washer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsed With:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-2387 Drain Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaces (OEM):\u003c\/strong\u003e 311598\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evinrude 40\/48\/50 HP w\/15 Inch Shaft (1993 and Up)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.001 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEvinrude outboards, 40\/48\/50 HP with 15 inch shaft, 1993 and up\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e311598\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the EMP 27-00957-1 washer fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The EMP 27-00957-1 drain\/fill plug washer fits Evinrude outboards of 40, 48, and 50 horsepower with a 15 inch shaft, on model years 1993 and up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this washer a direct replacement for OEM part 311598?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, EMP 27-00957-1 directly replaces OEM number 311598 and is built to seal the same drain\/fill plug location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the 27-00957-1 washer made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a plastic washer, designed as a one-time-use seal for the gearcase drain\/fill plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many washers come in a package?\u003c\/strong\u003e 27-00957-1 is sold in a package of 5, enough for multiple gear lube services.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich drain screw does this washer pair with?\u003c\/strong\u003e This washer is used with the 18-2387 drain screw on applicable Evinrude gearcases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I reuse the old drain plug washer when changing gear lube?\u003c\/strong\u003e No; a plastic drain\/fill plug washer like 27-00957-1 should be replaced at each gear lube change since a compressed or worn washer can leak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 27-00957-1 washer weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The EMP 27-00957-1 washer weighs 0.001 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes 27-00957-1 fit outboards with a different shaft length?\u003c\/strong\u003e No; this washer is specified for 40\/48\/50 HP Evinrude outboards with a 15 inch shaft, model years 1993 and up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 27-00957-1 an OEM or aftermarket part?\u003c\/strong\u003e 27-00957-1 is an EMP aftermarket washer engineered to replace OEM number 311598.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order this product?\u003c\/strong\u003e You receive a package of 5 EMP 27-00957-1 plastic drain\/fill plug washers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991283871963,"sku":"EMP-27-00957-1","price":1.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/EMP_27-00957-1_Johnson-Evinrude_Drain_Screw_Gasket__82856.1722516053.500.750.jpg?v=1785329103","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/gearcase-drain-and-fill-plug-washer-replaces-omc-311598-fits-evinrude-40-48-50-hp-1993-and-up","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
