Retainer seal kits like this one are used whenever a gearcase is opened up for service, since the original seals are typically compromised on removal and should not be reused. Installing a fresh retainer seal kit at reassembly helps maintain the lubricant seal at the retainer, protecting internal gearcase components from water intrusion and lubricant loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is sold under the Sierra brand, a name widely used in the marine aftermarket for gearcase, drive, and engine seal and gasket kits. It is intended for technicians and boat owners performing gearcase or drive service on applicable Mercruiser units and is sized to fit as a direct kit for part number 18-2469.\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 18-2469\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Retainer Seal Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282386337\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 x 5 x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercruiser Gearcase and Drive Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMercruiser gearcase and drive applications; consult your gearcase parts diagram to confirm part number 18-2469 is called for on your unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo OEM cross-reference numbers are listed for this part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sierra 18-2469 Retainer Seal Kit used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 18-2469 is a retainer seal kit used during gearcase or drive service to reseal the retainer area on Mercruiser gearcase and drive units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-2469 kit fit Mercruiser drives?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-2469 Retainer Seal Kit is categorized for Mercruiser gearcase and drive applications; check your unit's parts diagram to confirm 18-2469 is the correct kit for your specific gearcase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra 18-2469 Retainer Seal Kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit weighs 1 pound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the package dimensions of the 18-2469 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The package measures 6 x 5 x 2 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre there OEM cross-reference numbers for part 18-2469?\u003c\/strong\u003e No OEM cross-reference or replacement numbers are listed for the Sierra 18-2469 Retainer Seal Kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-2469 a genuine Sierra part or an aftermarket copy?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 18-2469 is a Sierra brand retainer seal kit, sold under the Sierra name as listed by its manufacturer part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen should I replace the retainer seals with kit 18-2469?\u003c\/strong\u003e Retainer seals should be replaced any time the gearcase or drive retainer is removed for service, since original seals are generally not reusable; the 18-2469 kit supplies fresh seals for reassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the 18-2469 Retainer Seal Kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2469 kit is a retainer seal kit, supplying the seals needed to reseal the retainer during a gearcase or drive rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Sierra 18-2469 Retainer Seal Kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for this kit is 808282386337.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I reuse old retainer seals instead of buying the 18-2469 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Reusing old retainer seals is not recommended once a gearcase retainer has been removed, which is why a fresh kit like the Sierra 18-2469 is typically installed at reassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988106653915,"sku":"SIE-18-2469","price":86.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/18-2469__82592.1739477160.500.750.jpg?v=1785189019","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-2469-retainer-seal-kit-for-mercruiser-gearcase-drive-parts-mpn-118-2469","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
