Sierra 18-3754 Cable Anchor, Replaces 43436, for Mercruiser #1R, MR, Alpha, Alpha I, Gen II & Bravo Stern Drives

The Sierra 18-3754 Cable Anchor is a replacement shift cable anchor engineered for Mercruiser stern drive applications. This small but essential hardware component secures the shift cable at its mounting point, maintaining proper cable tension and alignment so shift linkage moves smoothly and accurately between gears. A worn, cracked, or improperly seated cable anchor can lead to sloppy shift feel, cable slippage, or difficulty engaging gears, making this an important wear item to inspect and replace as part of routine shift cable maintenance.

The 18-3754 is a direct equivalent for Mercury Marine part number 43436 and is designed to fit Mercruiser #1R, MR, Alpha, Alpha I, Gen II, and Bravo stern drive units. It ships as a single cable anchor unit, ready to install as part of a shift cable service or replacement job. As a Sierra part, it is built to marine duty standards and is backed by Sierra's warranty coverage.
