Sierra

<h3>Sierra Marine: Over 58 Years of Aftermarket Excellence</h3><p><strong>Sierra</strong> has built a reputation as one of the most trusted names on the water, bringing more than five decades of engineering expertise to the marine aftermarket. <a href="/7570-sierra">Sierra</a> is a globally recognized manufacturer with a rich 58-year history developing aftermarket engine and drive parts primarily for the marine industry — covering everything from inboard sterndrive applications to outboard engines across a huge range of makes and models.</p><p>In 2022, the Sierra brand underwent a significant expansion, broadening its portfolio to serve both the boating sector and select land-based applications. Today, Sierra encompasses its full core product lineup alongside well-established marine brands like Shields and Moeller, giving boaters a single trusted source for a comprehensive range of parts and supplies.</p><h3>Instrumentation Built for the Helm</h3><p>Sierra is perhaps best known for its industry-leading marine instrumentation. The brand offers one of the widest selections of <a href="/7570-sierra-gauges-200483">marine gauges</a> available in the aftermarket, spanning both analog and digital formats. Whether you need a replacement fuel level indicator, oil pressure gauge, water temperature monitor, or voltmeter, Sierra engineers these instruments to deliver accurate, reliable readings in demanding on-water conditions. All gauges are built to be water-resistant, UV-protected, and corrosion-resistant — critical traits in a saltwater or freshwater marine environment.</p><p>For boaters who want a coordinated helm setup, Sierra's <a href="/7570-sierra-gauge-set-1480">gauge sets</a> make it easy to monitor all key performance metrics in a cohesive, matched style. Available in a variety of series — from the classic Lido and Amega styles to more modern configurations — these multi-function sets cover everything from RPM and speed to fuel level and trim angle in a single package.</p><p>One of the most critical instruments on any vessel, the <a href="/7570-sierra-tachometer-gauge-1488">tachometer gauge</a> tells the operator exactly how hard the engine is working. Sierra's tachometer lineup spans a wide RPM range and is designed to interface with outboard, inboard, and sterndrive gas engines. With features like scratch-resistant lenses, perimeter lighting for night visibility, and compatibility with NMEA 2000 systems on select models, Sierra tachometers are a go-to upgrade or OEM replacement for serious boaters.</p><h3>Marine Engine Oils Formulated for the Water</h3><p>Beyond instrumentation, Sierra produces a full line of <a href="/7570-sierra-engine-oil-12138">marine engine oils</a> developed specifically for the rigors of boat engine operation. From 4-stroke FC-W certified oils to full synthetic and semi-synthetic blends in a range of viscosities, Sierra's lubricants are formulated to meet or exceed the requirements of leading marine engine manufacturers. Their engine oils are engineered to reduce friction and sludge buildup, provide maximum corrosion protection, and keep engines running cleanly — whether you're navigating coastal waters or freshwater lakes.</p><h3>Why Boaters Trust Sierra</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li>Over 58 years of marine aftermarket manufacturing experience</li><li>Products meet or exceed OEM standards across inboard, outboard, and sterndrive applications</li><li>Industry-leading warranty on instrumentation and parts</li><li>Comprehensive catalog spanning instrumentation, engine parts, fuel systems, and electrical supplies</li><li>Expanded brand portfolio including legacy names Shields and Moeller</li></ul>

Product Details

The Sierra 18-1962-1 is a cast iron water-cooled exhaust manifold designed as a direct replacement for the starboard (right) side on MerCruiser Ford V8 small block engines. This manifold replaces Mercury Marine OEM part numbers 65603A4 and 65603A12, and is fully interchangeable with the original equipment it replaces.

Engineered for MerCruiser Ford 302 and 351 CID (5.0L and 5.8L) engines found in Models 188, 215, 225, 233, 255, and 888 inboard and sterndrive applications from 1971 to 1977, this log-style manifold delivers a precise OEM-quality fit. It is designed for use with end riser models.

Key Features:

  • Cast iron construction for long-lasting durability in the marine environment
  • CNC machined for precise fit and leak-free installation
  • Primed and painted black for added corrosion protection straight out of the box
  • Individually packaged in Instapack expanding foam to prevent damage during shipping
  • Includes all necessary gaskets and mounting hardware for a complete installation
  • Leak-tested before packaging to ensure quality
  • Backed by SeaStar Solutions' comprehensive two-year limited warranty

OEM Cross-Reference Numbers:

  • Mercury Marine: 65603A4, 65603A12
  • Barr Marine: MC-1-65603
  • Osco: 5603
  • Aqua Power: 5510
  • GLM: 51252
  • Mallory: 9-40501

Sierra's marine exhaust manifold line is one of the most comprehensive in the aftermarket, covering virtually every major marine engine brand. The 18-1962-1 is sold individually and covers the starboard side only — for the port side, see Sierra part number 18-1958-1.

Would like more description of the items.

Fast and easy

Great Customer Service, shipping and billing address was different. They called me right away to verify this was no fraud. I will order from them again in the future.

Excellent prices. Reasonable shipping. Website is a little tweaky but if that keeps prices low who cares!

quick, easy and great price

good?

Nice! Just wish you had PayPal.

The shipping was fast, although I couldn't get it the first day because they require signature for delivery. I guess it's an added safety measure. Thank you! Will shop buy from again!
