About this part
Exhaust manifold kit referenced to Mercury Quicksilver 864929A2, Sierra Marine 18-1844K, and GLM 50373 for MerCruiser stern drive applications using a 3 in. (76 mm) closed-cooling dry-joint exhaust manifold spacer/riser setup. This closed-cooling (warm-riser) configuration is distinct from standard-cooling 3 in. dry-joint kits; verify the cooling system, joint style, spacer height, and original part reference before ordering.
Match the application
This kit applies to MerCruiser stern drive exhaust systems configured with a 3 in. (76 mm) spacer/riser on closed-cooling, dry-joint exhaust manifolds. It is not a universal fit across all MerCruiser V6 or V8 engines.

Workshop sequence
General workshop guidance only; use the service procedure for your exact drive or engine configuration.
- Isolate the battery and cooling system, and drain the exhaust manifold and riser passages according to your engine service manual before disassembly.
- Verify that the existing manifold and riser assembly is a dry-joint, closed-cooling configuration with a 3 in. (76 mm) spacer height, and match the removed components against the new kit before installation.
- Clean and inspect all dry-joint mating surfaces, water passages, and surrounding exhaust hoses or connections prior to reassembly, following the factory service manual for fastener tightening sequences and routing.
