A properly seated base gasket is essential to maintaining crankcase compression and preventing air or oil leaks at the powerhead mating surface, both of which can cause hard starting, rough idle, or reduced power if the seal fails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gasket is a direct equivalent to Chrysler\/Force OEM part 27-F307279-2, so it installs in place of the original without modification. It is designed for the Chrysler\/Force 150 HP outboard built in the 1989-1994 model years within serial number range E000001-E093699. Because base gaskets are a wear item that should be replaced any time the powerhead is removed or reseated, keeping the included pair on hand covers both a current job and a future one.\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 18-0115\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powerhead Base Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 030999750938\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27-F307279-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eChrysler\/Force 150 HP outboard, 1989-1994, serial number range E000001-E093699\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e27-F307279-2\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-0115 powerhead base gasket fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra part 18-0115 fits the Chrysler\/Force 150 HP outboard built in the 1989-1994 model years, within serial number range E000001-E093699.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many gaskets come in this package?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-0115 powerhead base gasket ships as a package of two, giving you a spare for the next time the powerhead is serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 18-0115 a direct replacement for the original Chrysler\/Force gasket?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, 18-0115 replaces OEM part 27-F307279-2 and installs in the same location without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the OEM part number that 18-0115 replaces?\u003c\/strong\u003e It replaces Chrysler\/Force part number 27-F307279-2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the powerhead base gasket weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each package of the 18-0115 base gasket weighs 0.06 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 18-0115 gasket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The gasket measures approximately 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen should I replace the powerhead base gasket on my Chrysler\/Force outboard?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-0115 base gasket should be replaced any time the powerhead is removed or reseated on a compatible Chrysler\/Force 150 HP outboard, since the seal cannot be reused reliably once broken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat happens if the powerhead base gasket fails?\u003c\/strong\u003e A failed base gasket can allow air or oil leaks at the powerhead-to-crankcase joint, leading to hard starting, rough idle, or reduced power, which is why Sierra part 18-0115 is stocked as a maintenance replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this gasket brand new or a used part?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-0115 powerhead base gasket is a new replacement part, sold in a sealed package of two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes 18-0115 fit other Chrysler\/Force horsepower models?\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-0115 is specified for the 150 HP Chrysler\/Force outboard within serial range E000001-E093699; other horsepower or serial ranges use a different Sierra part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat UPC is associated with the 18-0115 gasket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-0115 powerhead base gasket carries UPC 030999750938.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988021784795,"sku":"SIE-18-0115","price":2.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-0115_lg_1__65944.1558117768.500.750.jpg?v=1785188279","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-0115-powerhead-base-gasket-replaces-27-f307279-2-fits-force-chrysler-125-150-hp-outboards-pack-of-2","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
