Keeping water out of your shift cable housing is crucial for smooth operation, and the Mercury Shift Cable Bellows Assembly (877581A5) is built to do just that. Designed for select Mercury SportJet and OptiMax Jet Drive models, this durable bellows acts as a protective barrier against water intrusion, dirt, and debris—helping extend the life of your shift system while ensuring crisp, reliable shifting.
Why This Bellows Matters:
- Protects Against Corrosion – Keeps moisture and contaminants away from the shift cable, preventing rust and premature wear.
- Ensures Smooth Shifting – Maintains the integrity of your shift system, reducing drag and preventing stiffness in the cable.
- OEM Precision Fit – Designed for 40 series cables, making installation seamless on compatible Mercury Jet Drives.
Built for These Mercury Models:
- SportJet 120XR2 & 175 (2000 & newer) with 40 series cables
- 200 OptiMax, 210 & 240 EFI Jet Drives
A cracked or worn bellows can lead to serious shifting issues over time. Swapping it out with the Mercury Shift Cable Bellows Assembly 877581A5 is a quick, preventative step that helps keep your boat’s shift system operating at its best.
