It seals the gap where the drive shaft housing passes through the transom assembly, helping to keep water out of the bilge and boat interior at this critical hull penetration point. Installing a properly fitted transom seal is a routine part of stern drive maintenance, and using the correct part number for your specific drive generation is essential to maintain a watertight seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis seal is manufactured by Sierra, a long-established supplier of marine engine and drive parts, and is built to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment part it replaces. It directly replaces OEM part number 24-17997A1, making it a straightforward like-for-like swap for boat owners and marine technicians servicing Alpha I Generation II and Bravo I, II, and III drive units.\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 18-2724\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transom Seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.13 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlpha I Generation II Drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBravo I, II, and III Drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e24-17997A1\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat drives does the Sierra 18-2724 transom seal fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2724 transom seal is designed for Alpha I Generation II drives and Bravo I, II, and III drives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat OEM part number does 18-2724 replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e This transom seal replaces OEM part number 24-17997A1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Sierra 18-2724 transom seal?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat shape is the transom seal?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2724 is a round transom seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra 18-2724 transom seal weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 0.13 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-2724 a genuine Sierra part or an aftermarket copy?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra 18-2724 is a Sierra-branded transom seal manufactured to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment part it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill 18-2724 work on a standard Bravo drive as well as Bravo II and III?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-2724 transom seal is listed for Bravo I, II, and III drives, in addition to Alpha I Generation II drives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the purpose of a transom seal on a stern drive boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e A transom seal such as the Sierra 18-2724 seals the opening where the drive shaft housing passes through the boat transom, helping prevent water intrusion into the bilge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Sierra 18-2724 fit Alpha I Generation I drives?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the Sierra 18-2724 is specified for Alpha I Generation II drives, not Generation I.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use 18-2724 as a direct replacement without modification?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-2724 transom seal is designed as a direct replacement for OEM part 24-17997A1 on Alpha I Generation II and Bravo I, II, and III drives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988109570267,"sku":"SIE-18-2724","price":17.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-2724_lg__01488.1558122777.500.750.jpg?v=1785188486","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-2724-transom-seal-replaces-mercruiser-3713-fits-mercruiser-alpha-gen-ii-and-all-bravo-sterndrives","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
