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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSierra 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.\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 18-0227\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shim, Bearing Carrier,.003, Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e.003 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Coding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gearcase and Drive Parts\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\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282228545\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat thickness is the Sierra 18-0227 bearing carrier shim?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-0227 bearing carrier shim measures.003 inch thick and is color coded green so it can be identified quickly among other shim thicknesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the green color coding used for on this shim?\u003c\/strong\u003e Green indicates the.003 inch thickness of the 18-0227 bearing carrier shim, letting technicians distinguish it at a glance from other shim thicknesses used in the same gearcase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a bearing carrier shim used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e A bearing carrier shim like the 18-0227 is placed within the gearcase to set proper bearing carrier clearance and preload during assembly or rebuild of the drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many shims come in one package of part 18-0227?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-0227 is sold as a single unit, one shim per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the Sierra 18-0227 shim?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-0227 bearing carrier shim measures 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-0227 bearing carrier shim weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This shim weighs 0.01 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-0227 shim equivalent to the original equipment part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra states that the 18-0227 shim meets or exceeds the specification of the original equipment part it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to select a specific shim thickness for my gearcase rebuild?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, bearing carrier shims are supplied in multiple thicknesses, each with its own color code, and the.003 inch thickness needed for a given rebuild determines whether the green 18-0227 or a different thickness is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat category of parts does the 18-0227 belong to?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-0227 is classified under gearcase and drive parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-0227 a genuine Sierra part or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-0227 is manufactured by Sierra and backed by the company's standard limited warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988059435227,"sku":"SIE-18-0227","price":5.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-0227__72453.1558117887.500.750.jpg?v=1785188430","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-0227-bearing-carrier-shim-0-003-green-replaces-omc-911678-omc-gearcase-drive","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
