Sold in a package of five, it is used to reseal the drain screw during oil changes or service on Verado outboards, restoring a proper seal and preventing leaks around the drain plug. Each gasket is built with marine grade materials to hold up to the marine engine environment. The part cross-references directly to O.E. Part Number 26-830749, making it a straightforward drop-in replacement when the original gasket is worn, compressed, or damaged during routine maintenance. Because it is sold in a 5-pack, it gives owners and shops enough gaskets on hand to cover several service intervals or multiple drain screw locations without reordering. As with any drain screw gasket, buyers should confirm the fitment against their specific Mercury Verado outboard before installation to ensure a proper seal.\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 18-2430-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury Verado outboard engines (all)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaces (OEM):\u003c\/strong\u003e 26-830749\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marine grade material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.07 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMercury Verado outboard engines (all)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e26-830749\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-2430-9 drain screw gasket fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2430-9 is designed for Mercury Verado outboard engines (all), sealing the drain screw location on these engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many gaskets come in a package?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each package of the 18-2430-9 contains five drain screw gaskets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this gasket replace an OEM part number?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 18-2430-9 replaces O.E.
