Engineered Marine Products

<h3>Engineered Marine Products: Marine-Grade Reliability for Automotive Systems</h3><p>Engineered Marine Products (EMP) brings precision engineering and marine-grade durability to the automotive aftermarket. With over 1,100 specialized components in their catalog, EMP applies the same rigorous standards required for harsh marine environments to create automotive parts that excel in demanding conditions. This manufacturer has built a reputation for producing components that withstand extreme temperatures, moisture, and vibration—qualities that translate directly to superior performance in automotive applications.</p><h3>Climate Control and Electrical Components</h3><p>One of EMP's core specialties lies in climate control system protection. Their <a href="/13199-engineered-marine-products-hvac-cut-off-switch-4209">HVAC cut-off switches</a> provide critical safety functions for heating and air conditioning systems, automatically interrupting power flow when pressure thresholds are exceeded. These switches serve as essential safeguards against compressor damage and system failures, making them indispensable for maintaining optimal cabin comfort and protecting expensive HVAC components from catastrophic failure.</p><h3>Transmission Control Technology</h3><p>Modern automatic transmissions rely on precise hydraulic control to manage gear changes smoothly and efficiently. EMP's <a href="/13199-engineered-marine-products-automatic-transmission-control-solenoid-7752">automatic transmission control solenoids</a> regulate transmission fluid pressure with exceptional accuracy, ensuring seamless shifts and optimal power delivery. These electro-hydraulic components play a vital role in transmission longevity, as proper solenoid function prevents harsh shifting, slippage, and premature wear of internal clutch packs and bands.</p><h3>Engine Cooling Solutions</h3><p>Maintaining proper engine temperature is fundamental to performance and longevity. EMP manufactures <a href="/13199-engineered-marine-products-engine-water-pump-2208">engine water pumps</a> that circulate coolant throughout the engine block, cylinder heads, and radiator system. Drawing on their marine heritage where cooling system reliability is non-negotiable, these water pumps feature durable construction with corrosion-resistant materials and precision-machined components. A failing water pump can lead to overheating and catastrophic engine damage, making quality replacement parts essential for any cooling system service.</p><h3>Engineering Philosophy</h3><p>What sets Engineered Marine Products apart is their commitment to over-engineering components for extreme conditions. Marine applications demand parts that can handle saltwater corrosion, constant vibration, and temperature fluctuations—challenges that also exist in automotive environments. This design philosophy results in parts with enhanced durability, longer service life, and greater reliability than standard replacement components. Whether you're servicing climate control systems, transmission repairs, or cooling system maintenance, EMP provides components engineered to exceed expectations.</p>

Product Details

The Engineered Marine Products 23-08612 Shift Shaft Bushing Kit is designed specifically for MerCruiser Alpha One Generation II stern drives with serial numbers F094775 and later (approximately 1991 and newer). This essential maintenance kit replaces worn or damaged shift shaft bushings and seals that are critical for smooth, precise shifting operation in your stern drive system.

Key Features:

  • Complete bushing and seal kit for the bell housing shift shaft assembly
  • Includes large bushing (23-814308), small bushing, and two oil seals (26-816464)
  • Fits in the gimbal housing where the shift shaft passes through
  • Reduces friction, prevents vibration, and provides essential sealing to prevent oil leakage
  • Direct replacement for MerCruiser part number 806036A1
  • Compatible with Sierra 18-3760, GLM 87562, and Mallory 9-72162

Worn shift shaft bushings can cause imprecise shifting, excessive play in the shift mechanism, and potential oil leaks. This kit restores smooth shifting operation and ensures proper alignment of the shift shaft within the gimbal housing. The bushings are constructed from durable brass material for excellent wear and corrosion resistance, while the oil seals are made from high-quality rubber for superior heat resistance and sealing performance.

Application: MerCruiser Alpha One Gen II stern drives, serial number F094775 and up (1991 and newer models). Verify your serial number and compare OEM part numbers before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
