I need the part number for the mercruiser Bellows kit for my boat. I tried mercury parts express and it is impossible to use, it used to work great, but they've ruined all that.

MODEL OF DRIVE: 0C439253 (ALPHA ONE)
YEAR OF BOAT: 1988
MAKE/MOD: RINKER FIESTA VEE

I need it because I want to order the kit from NAPA. They need the MERC part # for the kit so i can cross reference it to the Napa number. I don't want to order the wrong one.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

BEST REGARDS,
Mikey

It's a shame parts express is non existant anymore. Merc went thru and changed all it's part numbers and screwed everything up.
The 2007 PN for the kit you need is 30-803097T 1
Any Merc dealer can get it for you, and can also convert it to the new number.

Ahhh yes, the 18-2601, the dreaded "Most of the parts fit, more or less" kit.

Re: Mercruiser Bellow Kit, Need Help

Thank you guys so much. Parts express was great. I have the Napa marine catalog infront of me, and the cross reference number is aligns with the one i suspected. I suspect the kit is made by Sierra as the number Bt Doctur put out for sierra matches with the one in the catalog.

Good or bad?

The kit from the marina works out to be 250 + 60 for impellor.

This kit... 170 with napa account....

Good to hear. I ordered it, and glad i can save that sort of money. $80 for a transom seal kit? Where??? 8 years on your sierra kit, id say that is plenty good.
