It seals the thermostat housing to the engine, keeping coolant where it belongs and preventing the kind of slow seep that goes unnoticed until the engine starts running hotter than it should. Any time the thermostat housing comes off, this gasket should be replaced. The old one has been compressed and heat-cycled through years of service and will not seal with the same reliability as a fresh one. At this price, skipping it makes no sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EMP 27-08602 Thermostat Gasket covers an extensive range of Yamaha outboards and is a direct replacement for Sierra part number 18-0844 and Yamaha part number 688-12414-A1-00. If you are cross-referencing from either of those numbers, you are in the right place. EMP manufactures this gasket to OEM specifications for a proper, coolant-resistant seal that holds up through the heat cycles and vibration of regular outboard use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility and specs at a glance:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits Yamaha 90, 115, 130, 150, 175, 200, and 225 (2.6L) horsepower outboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits Yamaha B90, B115, C75, C80, C85, C90, and CV85 models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits Yamaha D150, DX150, E75, P75, S115, S130, S150, S175, S200 models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits Yamaha SX150, SX200, V150, V175, ProV150, VX150 models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits Yamaha VZ150, VZ175, VZ200 (2.6L), Z150, Z175, and Z200 (2.6L) models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplaces Sierra 18-0844\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplaces Yamaha 688-12414-A1-00\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 2708602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC Code:\u003c\/b\u003e 840080497686\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54080991920433,"sku":"EMP-27-08602","price":5.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/7184\/8291\/files\/emp-thermostat-gasket-27-08602-840080497686-1235096339.jpg?v=1777703566","url":"https:\/\/www.firstchoicemarine.com\/products\/emp-thermostat-gasket-27-08602","provider":"First Choice Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
