It uses an old style stranded core wire with a soldered tip, a design carried over from the original equipment configuration on these drive units, and it is paired with a 63 inch conduit to route the cable from the control station to the drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this cable is built for forward installation into the bell housing, it requires Sierra support tube 18-2160, which is not included and must be ordered separately to complete the installation. Selecting the correct shift cable assembly matters for reliable shifting between forward, neutral, and reverse, and this assembly is a direct fit replacement for the OEM numbers listed below, so it drops into the same mounting points and connects to the same shift linkage as the original part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-2157\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shift Cable Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercruiser #1 Drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1562900-6225576\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Forward installation into bell housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Core:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old style stranded core wire with soldered tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConduit Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 63 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRequired Accessory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Support Tube 18-2160 (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 030999311610\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19543A2, 41951A1, 19543A8, 19543A10, 19543A4, 66065A1, 66069A2, 73679A2, 865436A02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMercruiser #1 Drives, Serial Number 1562900-6225576, forward installation into bell housing\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e19543A2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e41951A1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e19543A8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e19543A10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e19543A4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e66065A1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e66069A2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e73679A2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e865436A02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat drives does the Sierra 18-2157 shift cable assembly fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-2157 is built for Mercruiser #1 Drives within the serial number range 1562900-6225576, for forward installation into the bell housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-2157 replace my original Mercruiser shift cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this Sierra 18-2157 assembly is a direct replacement for OEM numbers 19543A2, 41951A1, 19543A8, 19543A10, 19543A4, 66065A1, 66069A2, 73679A2, and 865436A02.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the conduit on the 18-2157 shift cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The conduit measures 63 inches, matching the length used on the original Mercruiser #1 Drive forward installation setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a support tube included with the 18-2157?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 18-2157 shift cable assembly requires Sierra support tube 18-2160 for forward installation into the bell housing, and it must be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat kind of wire core does the 18-2157 use?\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses an old style stranded core wire with a soldered tip, the same wire construction found on the original Mercruiser #1 Drive shift cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 18-2157 be installed for aft installation instead of forward?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 18-2157 is configured specifically for forward installation into the bell housing on Mercruiser #1 Drives serial numbers 1562900-6225576.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-2157 shift cable assembly weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2157 weighs 1.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Sierra 18-2157 shift cable assembly?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the 18-2157 is 030999311610.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 18-2157 fit a Mercruiser drive with a serial number above 6225576?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 18-2157 is designated for Mercruiser #1 Drives in the serial number range 1562900-6225576;
