Sierra 18-2111 Power Trim Hose, Large Diameter, Mercury Marine Outboard Trim System, Replaces 32-88006

The Sierra 18-2111 is a large-diameter power trim hose built for Mercury Marine outboard trim systems in which the trim pump is mounted external to the transom bracket. It carries hydraulic fluid between the trim cylinder and the connector block as part of the tilt hose circuit, and Sierra designates two of these large-diameter hoses as required per engine (paired with two small-diameter 18-2110 hoses to complete the full four-hose set: one up and one down to each cylinder).

The hose is molded in white plastic with a nominal wall thickness of 1.59 millimeters and an inside diameter of 1/4 inch (64 millimeters), running 5 feet 7 inches (17 meters) in length. Its compact fitting footprint measures 2.52 inches by 2.52 inches. This part corresponds to Mercury Marine OEM number 32-88006, along with cross-reference numbers 32-45959 and 32-97154A1, making it a direct fit for trim systems originally equipped with those hoses.

Because trim hoses see continuous hydraulic pressure and flexing during tilt and trim operation, replacing a cracked, leaking, or swollen hose with the correctly sized 18-2111 (large diameter) helps restore proper trim function and prevents fluid loss. Be sure to distinguish this large-diameter hose from the small-diameter 18-2110, since the trim system requires both sizes and installing the wrong diameter in the wrong position will not seat correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Sierra 18-2111 power trim hose replace? The 18-2111 corresponds to Mercury Marine OEM numbers 32-88006, 32-45959, and 32-97154A1, so any of those part numbers point to this same large-diameter trim hose.

How many of these hoses does a trim system need? Two of the large-diameter 18-2111 hoses are required per engine, paired with two small-diameter 18-2110 hoses to make up the full four-hose trim circuit (one up and one down to each cylinder).

What is the difference between the 18-2111 and the 18-2110? The 18-2111 is the large-diameter version of Sierra's power trim hose, while the 18-2110 is the small-diameter version; a complete trim system uses two of each, so the two part numbers are not interchangeable.

What size is the 18-2111 trim hose? It has an inside diameter of 1/4 inch (64 millimeters) and runs 5 feet 7 inches (17 meters) long, with a nominal wall thickness of 1.59 millimeters.

What is this hose made of? The Sierra 18-2111 power trim hose is molded in white plastic.

Where does this hose install in the trim system? It runs from the trim cylinder to the connector block as the tilt hose, and is used on trim systems where the trim pump is mounted external to the transom bracket.

How much does the 18-2111 weigh? The Sierra 18-2111 power trim hose weighs 0.59 pounds.

Will the 18-2111 fit any Mercury outboard trim system? It fits Mercury Marine trim systems that use the OEM 32-88006, 32-45959, or 32-97154A1 large-diameter trim hose and that have the trim pump mounted external to the transom bracket.

Is this a genuine Mercury Marine part or an aftermarket replacement? The 18-2111 is a Sierra-branded replacement hose engineered to match the Mercury Marine 32-88006 trim hose and its cross-references, rather than a part sourced from Mercury Marine directly.

What is included when I order the 18-2111? Each order is for one Sierra 18-2111 large-diameter power trim hose; since two are required per engine, buyers needing a full repair should order two units of the 18-2111 plus two of the small-diameter 18-2110.

What color is the Sierra 18-2111 hose? The 18-2111 power trim hose is white.
