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 18-2202 Sliding Clutch is a precision-engineered aftermarket replacement clutch dog designed for MerCruiser stern drive lower units. It directly replaces OEM MerCruiser part numbers 52-853594T, 52-66063, and 52-824112, making it a direct, drop-in solution for lower unit gear system restoration.

This sliding clutch is a critical component in the lower unit gearcase, responsible for engaging forward and reverse gears by locking onto the propeller shaft. Worn or damaged sliding clutches can cause gear slippage, difficulty shifting, or complete loss of drive engagement — making timely replacement essential for safe and reliable operation.

  • Direct replacement for MerCruiser OEM part numbers 52-853594T, 52-66063, and 52-824112
  • Compatible with MerCruiser MC-1, R, MR, Alpha One, and Alpha One Gen II stern drives (1983 and newer)
  • Also compatible with Mercury 3.0L engine applications
  • Cross-references with GLM part number 11060
  • Engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications
  • Built for the demanding marine environment

The Sierra 18-2202 is also included as a component in the Sierra 18-2405 Gear Repair Kit for MR/Alpha One stern drives. Sierra International is a leading manufacturer of aftermarket marine engine parts, trusted by technicians and boaters worldwide for quality and reliability.

Cheapest carb I found for my use, thanks.

Once I got the numbers off the old battery it was easier than when I put in the make and model because I have a BMW motorcycle instead of the car which is what came up each time.
