{"product_id":"emp-slinger-25-00226-1","title":"EMP Slinger Mercury\/Mariner #25-00226-1","description":"\u003ch2\u003eEMP 25-00226-1 Engine Gaskets\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe slinger is a small disc-shaped component that sits on the crankshaft and uses centrifugal force to fling oil or water away from the crankshaft seal, protecting it from contamination and premature wear. On a Mercury or Mariner outboard, the slinger works in conjunction with the lower crankshaft seal to keep water out of the powerhead and oil where it belongs. It is not a part that gets much attention during a routine service, but when it is worn, cracked, or missing, the seal behind it takes on a lot more stress than it was designed to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EMP 25-00226-1 Slinger fits Mercury and Mariner 4-cylinder outboards from 75 to 85 horsepower and V6 outboards from 90 to 300 horsepower, covering model years 1970 through 2006. That is a long production run and a wide range of engines, making this one of the more versatile slingers in the Mercury and Mariner parts catalog. It is a direct replacement for Mercury part number 30271 and also crosses with Sierra 18-7426-9, GLM 21330, and Mallory 9-76562. If you are cross-referencing from any of those numbers, you are in the right place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEMP manufactures this slinger to OEM specifications, so the dimensions and material match the original exactly. If you are doing a lower seal replacement or a powerhead reseal, this is a part worth having on the bench before you start. Replacing it at the same time as the crankshaft seal is the kind of thoroughness that pays off in the long run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility and specs at a glance:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits Mercury and Mariner 4-cylinder outboards, 75 to 85 horsepower (1970 to 2006)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits Mercury and Mariner V6 outboards, 90 to 300 horsepower (1970 to 2006)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplaces Mercury 30271\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrosses with Sierra 18-7426-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrosses with GLM 21330\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrosses with Mallory 9-76562\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt to OEM specifications by EMP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect replacement, no modification required for listed applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNormalized SKU:\u003c\/b\u003e 25002261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC Code:\u003c\/b\u003e 840080490502\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54080973603121,"sku":"EMP-25-00226-1","price":1.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/7184\/8291\/files\/emp-slinger-25-00226-1-840080490502-1237327973.jpg?v=1778336208","url":"https:\/\/www.firstchoicemarine.com\/products\/emp-slinger-25-00226-1","provider":"First Choice Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
