Sierra Flame Arrestor 18-7232, Replaces 97595 97214, V-8 Marine Engines

The Sierra 18-7232 Flame Arrestor is a direct-fit replacement air intake component engineered for V-8 marine engines. Mounted atop the carburetor, a flame arrestor allows air into the engine while containing any backfire flame inside the housing, protecting the engine compartment and crew. The Sierra 18-7232 is built to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment part it replaces, giving boat owners a reliable, factory-equivalent option when the original arrestor is worn, cracked, or missing.

This unit features a machined exterior finish and a High Performance type construction, with two vent tubes measuring 1 1/4 inches each to support proper airflow to the engine. It is compact, with product dimensions of 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches, and weighs 0.96 pounds. Part number 18-7232 replaces OEM numbers 97595 and 97214, making it a straightforward swap for boat owners who know their original part number. A related but separate part, Sierra 18-7256, is a Hi-Performance flame arrestor that replaces a different OEM number -- buyers should confirm they are ordering 18-7232 for their V-8 application rather than the 18-7256 variant.
