Installation Notes

  1. Ensure the engine is off and cool, and disconnect the battery as a safety precaution.
  2. Locate and carefully remove the shift rod cover, taking note of fastener locations.
  3. Remove the old gasket completely and clean both the cover and engine mating surfaces to remove any residue.
  4. Align the new gasket onto the mounting surface; ensure all holes line up correctly.
  5. Re-install the shift rod cover and tighten the fasteners to the manufacturer-specified torque in a crisscross pattern.
  6. After installation, reconnect the battery and check for leaks or operational issues before resuming normal use.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I verify this gasket fits my engine?

This gasket is designed for specific Mercruiser, OMC, and BRP applications. The most reliable method for confirming fitment is to cross-reference your original part number with the equivalents listed: Mercruiser 911878 or OMC/BRP 0911878.

What are the signs of a failing shift rod cover gasket?

Common symptoms include visible oil or water leaks around the cover area and potential shifting difficulties if water has entered the mechanism. A visual inspection for degradation or breaches in the seal is often the first step in diagnosis.

Is it okay to reuse an old gasket?

No. Gaskets create a seal by compressing into imperfections on the mating surfaces. Once used, they lose their ability to form a reliable, leak-free seal and should always be replaced with a new one during service.

What does the shift rod cover gasket do?

It creates a durable seal for the shift rod cover, preventing water intrusion or oil leakage from the gearcase. This protects critical internal components from contamination and corrosion.
