Sierra Stud Kit 18-72510 for Mercruiser Coupler to Flywheel
The Sierra Stud Kit, part number 18-72510, is a coupler-to-flywheel stud kit built for Mercruiser sterndrive applications. This kit supplies the studs used to secure the flywheel coupler assembly, a connection point that must stay tight and properly torqued to transmit engine power to the drive unit without slipping or working loose under load. Sierra manufactures the kit to match the fit and thread engagement of the original coupler-to-flywheel hardware it is designed to replace, making it a straightforward drop-in for routine maintenance, coupler service, or flywheel replacement work.
Because this is a small, precision hardware kit, it ships compact and lightweight, and is intended to be installed with standard hand tools during coupler or flywheel service. Boat owners and marine technicians use it to restore the coupler-to-flywheel joint to proper specification rather than reusing worn or corroded studs.
