This small retaining ring is a wear item that keeps the anchor pin correctly positioned within the trim cylinder assembly, and replacing it when worn or corroded helps maintain proper trim cylinder function and prevents pin migration during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade of metal, the E-ring is sized to snap securely into its retaining groove and is compatible with grease as a lubricant during installation. It is sold as a pack of 8, giving you enough rings on hand to service multiple trim cylinders or keep spares for future maintenance. Each Sierra part is built to meet or exceed the quality of the original equipment part it replaces, making it a reliable choice for replacing a worn or lost factory anchor pin E-ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis E-ring is designed for Bravo drives and directly replaces Mercruiser part number 53-815949. Because it is such a small, low-cost part, it is often replaced proactively any time the trim cylinder is removed or serviced, since reusing a worn E-ring can allow the anchor pin to work loose over time.\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 18-2345-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trim Cylinder Anchor Pin E-Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bravo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaces (OEM):\u003c\/strong\u003e 53-815949\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\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\u003eCompatible Lubricant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grease\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBravo\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e53-815949 (Mercruiser)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sierra 18-2345-9 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a trim cylinder anchor pin E-ring that secures the anchor pin in place on Bravo drive trim cylinders, part number 18-2345-9.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-2345-9 E-ring fit Alpha One drives?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2345-9 is designated for Bravo drives; it is not listed for Alpha One applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat OEM part number does 18-2345-9 replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e This E-ring replaces Mercruiser part number 53-815949.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many E-rings come in a pack of Sierra 18-2345-9?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra part 18-2345-9 is packaged 8 E-rings per pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 18-2345-9 anchor pin E-ring made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-2345-9 trim cylinder anchor pin E-ring is made of metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-2345-9 E-ring weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2345-9 weighs 0.01 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 18-2345-9 E-ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each 18-2345-9 E-ring measures approximately 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-2345-9 a genuine OEM part or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-2345-9 is a Sierra aftermarket replacement part built to meet or exceed the quality of the original Mercruiser 53-815949 it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen should I replace the trim cylinder anchor pin E-ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e Replace the 18-2345-9 E-ring any time it shows wear or corrosion, or proactively whenever the trim cylinder anchor pin is removed for service, since a worn E-ring can let the pin work loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need grease to install the 18-2345-9 E-ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-2345-9 E-ring is compatible with grease, which can be used during installation to ease fitment into the retaining groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the Sierra 18-2345-9?\u003c\/strong\u003e An order of Sierra 18-2345-9 includes a pack of 8 metal trim cylinder anchor pin E-rings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988106064091,"sku":"SIE-18-2345-9","price":7.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/18-2345-9__41753.1739458637.500.750.jpg?v=1785188147","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-2345-9-trim-cylinder-anchor-pin-e-ring-replaces-mercruiser-53-815949-fits-alpha-i-gen-ii-sterndrives-2-pack","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
