Sierra

<p>For nearly six decades, Sierra has established itself as one of the marine industry's most trusted names in aftermarket engine and drive parts. Founded as a specialized marine parts manufacturer, Sierra has grown into a comprehensive supplier of replacement components, instrumentation, and accessories for both recreational and commercial boating applications. Operating from their 300,000-square-foot distribution center in Litchfield, Illinois, Sierra serves boat owners and marine technicians worldwide with an extensive catalog of parts engineered specifically for the harsh saltwater environment.</p><h3>Marine Engine Excellence</h3><p>Sierra's reputation was built on delivering precision-engineered internal engine components and drive system parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications. Their <a href="/7570-sierra-engine-gasket-set-5404">engine gasket sets</a> provide critical sealing solutions for inboard and outboard motors, while their <a href="/7570-sierra-engine-complete-assembly-15341">engine complete assemblies</a> offer comprehensive replacement options for major overhauls. Each component undergoes rigorous testing to ensure reliability in demanding marine conditions, from corrosion resistance to temperature cycling performance.</p><h3>Instrumentation and Monitoring Systems</h3><p>Accurate instrumentation is essential for boat operators to monitor engine health and prevent costly breakdowns on the water. Sierra's comprehensive line of <a href="/7570-sierra-gauges-200483">gauges</a> includes everything from fuel pressure and temperature indicators to voltmeters and trim gauges, all designed with marine-grade materials that withstand vibration, moisture, and UV exposure. Their <a href="/7570-sierra-tachometer-gauge-1488">tachometer gauges</a> deliver precise RPM readings critical for optimizing engine performance and fuel efficiency. Supporting these instruments, Sierra's <a href="/7570-sierra-gauge-resistor-47908">gauge resistors</a> ensure proper signal conditioning and accurate readings across various sensor types and engine configurations.</p><h3>Expanded Product Portfolio</h3><p>In 2022, Sierra significantly broadened its scope beyond traditional marine engine parts to encompass a wider range of boating accessories and even outdoor power equipment components. This strategic expansion brought established marine brands like Shields and Moeller under the Sierra umbrella, creating a one-stop resource for marine maintenance and replacement parts. The company now offers fuel systems, electrical components, battery charging solutions, and NMEA electronics alongside their traditional engine parts lineup.</p><h3>Quality Backed by Industry-Leading Warranties</h3><p>What sets Sierra apart in the crowded aftermarket marine parts market is their commitment to standing behind every component they manufacture. Their warranty coverage extends beyond simple part replacement—it includes shop labor, haul-out fees, towing charges, and related incidental costs should a warrantied part fail. This comprehensive protection reflects the company's confidence in their manufacturing processes and quality control standards. For boat owners facing repairs far from shore or mechanics working on customer vessels, this peace of mind is invaluable. Whether you're maintaining an outboard motor, rebuilding an inboard engine, or upgrading your boat's instrumentation, Sierra's decades of marine industry experience and commitment to quality make them a reliable choice for keeping your vessel running at peak performance.</p>

Product Details

The Sierra 18-9806E is a specialized shift cable tool designed for installing and removing shift cables on MerCruiser stern drive units. This essential marine service tool provides access to the recessed hex fitting on shift cables, making installation and removal significantly easier compared to standard sockets.

Compatible Drive Units:

  • MerCruiser MC-I stern drives
  • MerCruiser R and MR models
  • Alpha One stern drives
  • Alpha One Gen II drive units

Key Features:

  • Slotted design along entire length allows cable core and shift arm to remain installed during routing
  • 9/16 inch deep socket with hex head for easy wrench or ratchet access
  • Thin-walled construction fits in tight spaces around bell housing
  • Works with Sierra shift cables 18-2190 and 18-2190E

This tool is particularly valuable when installing shift cables with the cable core already inserted, as the slotted design accommodates the shift shaft arm while threading the cable into the bell housing. Sierra products are precision-built aftermarket replacements trusted by marine technicians worldwide.

Fast Shipping, great product. Prices are cheap, they lowered their price on my item a couple of days later and am in the process of getting the difference w/ their buySafe 3 in 1 guarantee. So far everything is great, would definitely recommend.

The best price I could find and it arrived in 2 days! I'll be doing business again.

Not only were they the cheapest price on the web, they shipped out my item the next day!<br><br>Thank you Autoplicity!<br><br>I'll definitely use you again/

Easy transaction. Shipped as promised thanks

Good price

Found what I needed with ease.

I purchased a wiring connector and some additional wiring pins. Super fast shipping. Likely to buy from again.

Your prices for Metal Rescue were the best I could find and your shipping was fast, although I screwed up and ordered a quart when I though I ordered a gallon

Lowest price usually means sub-par customer service. Not the case at Autoplicity. I had questions after my item shipped, they responded promptly and professionally multiple times, and were totally willing to work with me. Very satisfying, would not hesitate to order from Autoplicity again.
