Sierra Bearing Carrier Shim.003 Inch Green 18-0227 for OMC Gearcase

The Sierra 18-0227 is a.003 inch bearing carrier shim, identified by its green color coding, designed for use in gearcase and drive applications. This small precision shim is used to set proper bearing carrier clearance and preload during gearcase assembly or rebuild, helping ensure correct alignment and smooth operation of the drive components it supports. Because bearing carrier shims are supplied in different thicknesses, each is color coded so technicians and boat owners can quickly identify and select the correct thickness for the clearance being set; the 18-0227 is the.003 inch, green-coded option.

Sierra manufactures this shim to meet or exceed the specification of the original equipment part it replaces, making it a reliable choice for gearcase servicing where precise shimming is required. It is sold as a single unit and is compact enough to be stocked alongside other shim thicknesses for use as needed during maintenance.
