It is engineered to Sierra's standard of meeting or exceeding the specifications of the original equipment part it replaces, so it holds up to the sustained heat, saltwater exposure, and vibration found in a marine exhaust path. The tube uses a bolt-on installation type, making it a straightforward swap when an original tube has cracked, corroded, or otherwise failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach package includes one exhaust tube. The part is manufactured in Taiwan and is sold under the Sierra brand, part number 18-2762, which directly replaces the Mercury Marine 70981 and 70981A3 exhaust tubes.\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 18-2762\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercruiser Water Shutter \u0026amp; Exhaust Tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bolt-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.76 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taiwan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exhaust Tube (1 per package)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70981, 70981A3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirect replacement for Mercury Marine exhaust tubes 70981 and 70981A3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e70981\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e70981A3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-2762 exhaust tube replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2762 is a direct replacement for Mercury Marine exhaust tubes 70981 and 70981A3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many exhaust tubes come in the package?\u003c\/strong\u003e One exhaust tube is included per package of the Sierra 18-2762.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the 18-2762 exhaust tube?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat shape is the Sierra 18-2762 exhaust tube?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a round shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the 18-2762 exhaust tube installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2762 uses a bolt-on installation type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-2762 exhaust tube weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2762 exhaust tube weighs 0.76 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is the Sierra 18-2762 exhaust tube manufactured?\u003c\/strong\u003e The country of origin for the Sierra 18-2762 exhaust tube is Taiwan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-2762 a genuine Mercury Marine part or an aftermarket replacement?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a Sierra-branded aftermarket exhaust tube engineered to meet or exceed the specifications of the original Mercury Marine 70981 and 70981A3 exhaust tubes it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-2762 the same part as the Sierra 18-2761 or 18-2770 exhaust tubes?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, 18-2761 and 18-2770 are separate Sierra part numbers with their own OEM cross-references; the 18-2762 is a distinct exhaust tube that replaces Mercury Marine 70981 and 70981A3 specifically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat category of Mercruiser part is the 18-2762?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2762 is categorized under Mercruiser water shutter and exhaust tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 18-2762 exhaust tube hold up in a marine exhaust environment?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Sierra designs the 18-2762 exhaust tube to meet or exceed the original equipment part's performance under the heat and saltwater exposure typical of marine exhaust systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988112093403,"sku":"SIE-18-2762","price":39.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-2762_lg__59502.1558124947.500.750.jpg?v=1785188136","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-2762-exhaust-tube-replaces-mercury-70981a3-fits-mercruiser-1-alpha-one-bravo-i-ii-iii-sterndrives","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
