Sierra

<h3>Sierra: Six Decades of Marine Aftermarket Excellence</h3><p><strong>Sierra</strong> has spent nearly 60 years earning its reputation as one of the most trusted names in the marine aftermarket industry. Originally focused on engine and drive components for boats, the brand has grown into a comprehensive source for nearly everything a boater needs to keep their vessel running at its best — from precision instrumentation to complete engine rebuild hardware.</p><p>Now operating as a brand of Dometic, Sierra manages global aftermarket distribution from a 300,000 sq. ft. facility in Litchfield, Illinois. The Sierra brand today encompasses not only its flagship marine parts line but also well-established marine names like Shields and Moeller, offering boaters a broader catalog than ever before. Whether you own an outboard, inboard, or sterndrive, Sierra's engineering team designs products to meet or exceed OEM specifications.</p><h3>Precision Instrumentation You Can Trust on the Water</h3><p>One of Sierra's most recognized product areas is its marine instrumentation lineup. The brand's <a href="/7570-sierra-gauge-set-1480">gauge sets</a> cover everything from classic analog instrument clusters to advanced digital multi-function displays. Sierra offers packages suited to outboards, sterndrives, and gasoline-powered inboards, with options ranging from coordinated analog kits in styles like Arctic, Eclipse, and Amega to modern touchscreen solutions like the R3 multi-function gauge. Features such as scratch-resistant domed glass lenses, silicone-dampened pointers, and perimeter backlighting make these instruments highly readable in all conditions.</p><p>Behind every accurate gauge reading is a properly calibrated sending circuit. Sierra's <a href="/7570-sierra-gauge-resistor-47908">gauge resistors</a> are a critical part of that chain, ensuring the signals from sensors and sending units are correctly interpreted by your instruments. These components are built to marine-grade standards to resist moisture, vibration, and corrosion — the realities of life on the water.</p><h3>Engine Internals Built to OEM Standards</h3><p>Sierra's history in marine power is perhaps best demonstrated by its deep catalog of engine components. The brand's <a href="/7570-sierra-engine-gasket-set-5404">engine gasket sets</a> cover a wide range of outboard and inboard applications and are engineered to deliver reliable seals in the demanding thermal and chemical environment of a marine engine. For boaters performing seasonal overhauls, top-end rebuilds, or full engine restorations, Sierra gasket kits are a go-to resource trusted by professional marine technicians and DIY boaters alike.</p><h3>A Complete Marine Parts Partner</h3><p>Beyond instrumentation and engine internals, Sierra's catalog spans fuel systems, electrical supplies, steering components, shore power, and more — all covered by what the brand calls an industry-leading warranty. Sierra also maintains a comprehensive parts-finder tool that enables cross-referencing with OEM part numbers from major manufacturers including Mercury, Yamaha, Suzuki, Volvo Penta, and others, making it straightforward to find the right replacement part for virtually any application.</p>

Product Details

The Sierra 18-1949 Manifold Riser Spacer is a heavy-duty marine exhaust component designed to add height to exhaust risers and help prevent water from traveling back into the riser during throttle-down conditions. Installation of the spacer also provides additional clearance for exhaust hose routing, making it a practical solution for complex marine exhaust configurations.

Engineered for compatibility with a wide range of Ford and GM-based V8 marine engines, this spacer features CNC-machined mating surfaces that ensure a proper seal without the need for additional surface preparation. Sierra's special casting techniques produce uniform wall thickness throughout, and each spacer is 100% leak tested prior to painting to guarantee quality before it leaves the factory.

Key Features:

  • Adds height to exhaust risers to reduce water back-flow risk at throttle-down
  • Provides added clearance for exhaust hose routing
  • CNC-machined mating surfaces for reliable, leak-free sealing
  • Uniform wall thickness achieved through precision casting techniques
  • 100% leak tested prior to paint for verified quality
  • Primed and painted for corrosion resistance and long service life
  • Ready to install out of the box
  • Backed by SeaStar Solutions Limited Two-Year Warranty

  • Exhaust Manifold: 18-1998-1
  • Riser: 18-1907, 18-1939

Easy shopping

Recently placed an order for some head studs for my car. They were much less expensive at autoplicity than elsewhere. I was surprised I hadn't heard anything back after a couple days, but was reassured that orders are processed within 24 business hours (3 days), not 24 hours (which I misread in my confirmation email). Just received a shipping confirmation with a tracking number today.

Quick easy ordering Best price of all internet and local search
