Sierra 18-9098 Trailering Clips, Replaces 174448, Set of 2, Fits SX Stern Drive Models thru 2006

The Sierra 18-9098 Trailering Clips are a set of two clips designed to secure and support the outdrive unit while a boat is being trailered, helping prevent stress and movement of the drive during transport. They are built as a direct replacement for OEM part 174448 and are designed to fit all SX stern drive models through 2006.

Made from stainless steel for corrosion resistance in the marine environment, these clips are engineered to meet or exceed original equipment quality, giving boat owners a reliable way to keep the drive properly supported on the trailer without relying on a worn or missing original clip. Each order includes a complete set of two clips, matching the original equipment quantity so both sides of the application are covered.

These trailering clips are a straightforward maintenance item for owners of SX-equipped boats who need to replace cracked, corroded, or missing factory clips. Because they are sold as a matched pair, they simplify reordering versus sourcing individual clips separately.
