Sierra Retainer Seal Kit 18-2469 for Mercruiser Gearcase and Drive
The Sierra Retainer Seal Kit, part number 18-2469, is a gearcase and drive seal kit designed to restore a proper seal at the retainer during gearcase or drive maintenance and rebuilds on Mercruiser gearcase and drive units. 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.
This 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.
