Sierra 18-7508 Power Steering Pump, Replaces 16792A39, 16792A33, MerCruiser MCM/MIE GM V6 & V8 283/305/350 cid Engines
The Sierra 18-7508 is a marine power steering pump built as a direct replacement for MerCruiser MCM/MIE stern drive applications powered by GM V6 and V8 engines in the 283, 305, and 350 cubic inch displacement range. It is engineered to meet or exceed OEM performance, supplying the hydraulic pressure needed to actuate the sterndrive's steering cylinder and deliver reliable, consistent steering response at the helm.
This pump is a bolt-on replacement designed to install using the same mounting points and drive configuration as the original equipment pump it replaces, so it drops into the existing power steering circuit without modification. It is finished in white and ships as a single unit ready for installation. Every Sierra power steering pump is backed by Sierra's industry leading warranty, giving boat owners confidence that a failed or worn original pump can be swapped for a unit built to the same standard.
Because steering response and safety depend on a properly functioning pump, replacing a worn, leaking, or noisy power steering pump with the 18-7508 restores factory-level steering feel on GM-powered MerCruiser MCM/MIE sterndrive boats.
