It is built as an OEM-equivalent part, engineered to meet or exceed the original equipment part it replaces so it installs and functions the same as the factory arm. The shift arm connects into the shift cable linkage and includes a pull handle for smooth, positive shift engagement. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion in the marine environment, and the white finish matches common factory shift assembly colors. This is a universal fit part, making it a straightforward replacement across compatible shift cable setups rather than being limited to one specific model or year. The complete package includes one Sierra 18-2169 Shift Arm, ready to install in place of a worn, cracked, or broken original arm. Boat owners and marine techs use this part to restore reliable shifting when the factory shift arm has failed or become loose, without needing to replace the entire shift cable assembly. Sierra International is a recognized marine parts manufacturer, and this shift arm is manufactured to be a drop-in equivalent for Mercury Marine part number 45589A3.\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 18-2169\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pull Handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.2 H x 1.7 L x 16.9 W (centimetres)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 030999311733\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury Marine 45589A3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal fit for compatible marine personal-craft shift cable systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMercury Marine 45589A3\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-2169 Shift Arm replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2169 Shift Arm is an OEM-equivalent replacement for Mercury Marine part number 45589A3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this shift arm fit my boat's shift cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2169 is a universal fit shift arm, meaning it is designed to work across compatible marine shift cable systems rather than one single model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Sierra 18-2169 Shift Arm made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from stainless steel, which resists corrosion in a marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Sierra 18-2169 Shift Arm?\u003c\/strong\u003e This shift arm has a white finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra 18-2169 Shift Arm weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2169 Shift Arm weighs 0.22 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the package dimensions of the Sierra 18-2169?\u003c\/strong\u003e The packaged Sierra 18-2169 Shift Arm measures 19.2 H x 1.7 L x 16.9 W in centimetres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the Sierra 18-2169?\u003c\/strong\u003e One Sierra 18-2169 Shift Arm is included in the package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-2169 genuine Mercury Marine or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-2169 is a Sierra-manufactured aftermarket shift arm built to meet or exceed the original Mercury Marine 45589A3 part it replaces, not a genuine Mercury Marine part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Sierra 18-2169 have a handle type?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-2169 Shift Arm uses a pull handle design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know if my shift arm needs replacing?\u003c\/strong\u003e A worn, cracked, loose, or broken shift arm that causes inconsistent or failed shift engagement is a sign the arm, such as the Sierra 18-2169, needs replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988105244891,"sku":"SIE-18-2169","price":86.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-2169_lg__97543.1558121145.500.750.jpg?v=1785189003","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-2169-shift-arm-for-mercruiser-sterndrive-replaces-mercury-45589a3-45589a1","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
