This gasket is sold as a pack of 2, so you have a spare on hand or enough to service both connector points in a single job. It is designed to replace Mercury Marine \/ Mercruiser 27-988231 and 27-98823 connector gaskets, making it a straightforward drop-in for anyone servicing an existing power trim hose connector rather than a new fitting design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the power trim system relies on hydraulic pressure to raise and lower the outdrive, a worn or hardened gasket at the hose connector is a common source of slow trim operation or fluid seepage. Replacing this gasket restores a proper seal at the connector without needing to replace the entire hose or fitting assembly.\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 18-0388\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Power Trim Hose Connector Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 gaskets per pack\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 030999873699\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercruiser Internal Engine Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits power trim hose connectors originally equipped with Mercury Marine \/ Mercruiser 27-988231 or 27-98823 gaskets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e27-988231\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e27-98823\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-0388 gasket fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-0388 is a power trim hose connector gasket designed to fit connectors that originally used Mercury Marine \/ Mercruiser 27-988231 or 27-98823 gaskets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many gaskets come in a pack?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra part number 18-0388 is sold as a pack of 2 gaskets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat OEM part numbers does 18-0388 replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e This gasket replaces Mercury Marine \/ Mercruiser 27-988231 and 27-98823.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this gasket weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each Sierra 18-0388 power trim hose connector gasket weighs 0.01 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an OEM Sierra part or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra 18-0388 is a Sierra-branded replacement gasket built to match the fit and function of the original Mercury Marine \/ Mercruiser connector gaskets it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is this gasket used on the boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is used at the power trim hose connector joint to seal the fitting against hydraulic fluid leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to replace both connector gaskets at once?\u003c\/strong\u003e Since Sierra 18-0388 comes as a pack of 2, you can service both connector points on the power trim system in one job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Sierra 18-0388 gasket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Sierra 18-0388 Power Trim Hose Connector Gasket is 030999873699.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this gasket stop a power trim fluid leak?\u003c\/strong\u003e A worn or hardened connector gasket is a common cause of hydraulic fluid seepage at the power trim hose fitting, and replacing it with a Sierra 18-0388 gasket restores the seal at that connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat category of part is 18-0388 listed under?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra 18-0388 falls under Mercruiser internal engine parts as a power trim hose connector gasket.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988072902875,"sku":"SIE-18-0388","price":2.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-0388_lg__33273.1558120191.500.750.jpg?v=1785188246","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-0388-power-trim-hose-connector-gasket-replaces-mercruiser-27-98823-27-988231-pkg-of-2","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
