About this part
Wet-joint manifold exhaust hose bellows kit referenced to MerCruiser component numbers 32-44348T, 27-815528, 99777Q02, and 27-92720 for MerCruiser 3.0L and 3.0LX inline-4 (GM 181 CID, 4-cylinder) new-style sterndrive configurations from 1982 to 1995. Match the individual 4-inch bellows and manifold gasket references to the installed wet-joint exhaust system before ordering, as a shared bellows number or engine displacement alone does not establish compatibility for the entire repair combination.
Match the application
This combination is intended for servicing manifold exhaust components on the specified MerCruiser wet-joint, new-style sterndrive configuration. Confirm that your exhaust system uses a wet-joint arrangement, the required 4-inch bellows version (32-44348T), and the new-style exhaust manifold gasket (27-815528). Year and engine displacement alone are not sufficient for version selection; provide your engine model, year, serial number, and exhaust-system details when verifying fitment.

Numbers to compare
The numbers below represent the primary component combination and individual component cross-references. Component reference numbers do not identify interchangeable replacement numbers for the complete repair kit, and a shared component number from another brand does not establish full kit compatibility.

Workshop sequence
General workshop guidance only; use the service procedure for your exact drive or engine configuration.
- Verify that the exhaust system uses a wet-joint arrangement and requires the 4-inch exhaust bellows (32-44348T) and new-style manifold gasket (27-815528).
- Inspect the manifold-to-elbow joint and compare the gasket passage pattern against your engine's cooling configuration to determine whether an open or closed-cooling gasket is required.
- Do not assume the open and closed-cooling gaskets are intended to be installed together; install only the gasket configuration specified for your cooling layout.
- Ensure mating flanges and hose connection surfaces are clean and aligned before securing the exhaust bellows and gaskets according to the service manual for your specific engine serial number.
Questions from the workshop
Are both manifold-to-elbow gaskets installed at the same time?
No. Do not assume the open and closed-cooling gaskets are intended to be installed together. Check whether your manifold-to-elbow joint requires an open gasket or a closed-cooling gasket by comparing the passage pattern to your cooling configuration.
Does a matching bellows number mean the entire kit fits my engine?
No. A shared bellows number or matching 3.0L/3.0LX displacement alone does not establish compatibility for the entire repair combination. You must also match the new-style manifold gasket reference 27-815528 and the wet-joint elbow gasket references to your installed exhaust system.
