Sierra 18-2345-9 Trim Cylinder Anchor Pin E-Ring, Replaces Mercruiser 53-815949, For Bravo Drives, Pack of 8

The Sierra 18-2345-9 is a trim cylinder anchor pin E-ring built to secure the anchor pin on Bravo drive trim cylinders. 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.

Made 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.

This 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.
