This critical component is engineered to facilitate the smooth raising and lowering of your boat's engine, essential for trailering, launching, and achieving optimal performance on the water. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of marine environments, this tilt shaft ensures that your sterndrive operates as intended, providing the control and convenience you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: disc; margin: 15px 0; padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecise Control\u003c\/strong\u003e: Enables smooth and accurate adjustment of the sterndrive's tilt angle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReliable Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ensures consistent functionality for raising and lowering the engine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Maneuverability\u003c\/strong\u003e: Facilitates easier trailering, launching, and docking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; line-height: 1.8;\"\u003eThe OMC TILT SHAFT plays a pivotal role in the overall operation and usability of your OMC sterndrive. Its primary function is to act as a key linkage within the tilt mechanism, translating input from the tilt trim system into the physical movement of the drive unit. This allows boaters to adjust the angle of the propeller relative to the water surface, which is crucial for a variety of situations. For trailering, the drive can be tilted up to reduce the overall length of the boat and trailer combination, making storage and transport more manageable. When launching, the ability to easily tilt the drive allows for navigation in shallower waters and protects the propeller from damage. On the water, adjusting the tilt angle can significantly impact planing performance, fuel efficiency, and handling characteristics, allowing the captain to fine-tune the boat's trim for different speeds and sea conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n  \n        \u003csection style=\"margin:20px 0\"\u003e\n            \u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n            \u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\n                \u003cthead\u003e\n                    \u003ctr\u003e\n                        \u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:2px solid #333;background-color:#f5f5f5\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n                        \u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:2px solid #333;background-color:#f5f5f5\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n                    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n                \u003c\/thead\u003e\n                \u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eMFG Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e18-2156\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eTilt Shaft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eOMC Sterndrives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eFunction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eFacilitates sterndrive tilt operation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eHardened Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e2.5 lbs (approx.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eRefer to OMC service manual for exact dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n            \u003c\/table\u003e\n        \u003c\/section\u003e\n        \n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Sierra Boneyard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46389741977762,"sku":"DM-182564","price":4.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3170\/5250\/files\/fs_182564_Web2.jpg?v=1765364514","url":"https:\/\/marinerswarehouse.com\/products\/mrc-water-pump-gasket-182564","provider":"Mariners Warehouse Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
