Sierra 18-2169 Shift Arm, White, OEM 45589A3 Replacement, Universal Fit

The Sierra 18-2169 Shift Arm is a white, stainless steel replacement shift arm designed for marine personal-craft shift cable systems. 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.
