Shims of this type are installed between the bearing carrier and gearcase housing to fine-tune fit, allowing a technician to dial in the correct gear backlash and bearing preload during a rebuild or gearcase service. The shim is color-coded brown to indicate its.010 inch thickness, making it easy to identify and stack with other shim thicknesses to reach the specified clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt from metal, the shim is manufactured to consistent, precise tolerances so that stacking multiple shims produces a predictable, accurate total thickness. Sierra manufactures this part to meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment part it replaces, and it is designed as a drop-in service part for OMC gearcase and drive maintenance and rebuild work.\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 18-02061\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shim, Bearing Carrier,.010, Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShim Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.010 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282228569\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sierra 18-02061 shim used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-02061 is a bearing carrier shim used to set bearing preload and clearance in a gearcase during assembly or rebuild of the lower unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat thickness is the 18-02061 shim?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is.010 inch thick, and the brown color coding identifies this thickness so it can be distinguished from other shim sizes during a rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is this shim and why does the color matter?\u003c\/strong\u003e This shim is brown, which corresponds to its.010 inch thickness so technicians can quickly grab the correct shim size without measuring each one individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Sierra 18-02061 shim made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-02061 bearing carrier shim is made of metal, machined to a consistent thickness so it stacks predictably with other shims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many shims come in a package?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-02061 is supplied as a single shim (unit count of one), so multiple units should be ordered if a stack of several thicknesses is needed for a rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-02061 shim weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 0.01 pounds, consistent with its small, thin construction as a single bearing carrier shim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of this shim?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-02061 measures 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-02061 an OEM part or an aftermarket replacement?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a Sierra-manufactured replacement part built to meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment bearing carrier shim it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen would I need to install a bearing carrier shim like the 18-02061?\u003c\/strong\u003e A bearing carrier shim such as the 18-02061 is installed when servicing or rebuilding a gearcase, to correct bearing preload or carrier clearance after reassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 18-02061 shim be combined with other shim thicknesses?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the.010 inch 18-02061 shim is designed to be stacked with shims of other thicknesses to reach the exact clearance specification required during a gearcase rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988058157275,"sku":"SIE-18-02061","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-02061_lg__96458.1558119779.500.750.jpg?v=1785188027","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-02061-bearing-carrier-shim-0-010-brown-replaces-omc-911681-omc-gearcase-drive","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
