Mercury – Quicksilver Bell Housing Installation Gasket Kit | Sterndrive Maintenance Kit | Marine-Grade Composite | 16755Q1

Overview

When you’re putting a Bravo drive back together, you need gaskets that seal tight and hold under pressure. The Mercury Marine 16755Q1 Quicksilver Bell Housing Installation Gasket Kit gives you exactly that. It includes all six gaskets needed for reassembling the bell housing on MerCruiser Bravo sterndrives, each one cut to Mercury’s precise specifications. Built for marine use, these gaskets resist oil, heat, and vibration, helping your drive stay dry, clean, and reliable long after the tools are put away.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A Bravo drive is only as reliable as the seals that hold it together. The 16755Q1 Gasket Kit gives you factory-fit parts that keep oil in and water out. The composite gaskets are thick enough to absorb vibration yet strong enough to maintain a uniform seal, even after long seasons of use.

Installing these gaskets ensures your drive stays tight, your oil stays clean, and your boat stays on the water instead of in the shop. You’ll notice how easily they seat into place and how well they maintain compression once torqued down. It’s one of those maintenance jobs that pays off every single trip — steady performance, no leaks, no worries.

Why Buy OEM

Aftermarket gasket kits often use thinner material or inconsistent cuts that can cause small leaks — the kind that turn into big problems later. The Quicksilver 16755Q1 is a genuine Mercury Marine kit, built from tested materials designed for the marine environment.

Each gasket is produced to exact Mercury tolerances, so you get consistent sealing and the peace of mind that comes from using parts built for your drive. With OEM components, everything fits as it should — no guesswork, no trimming, just proper alignment and long-term protection.
