STAINLESS STEEL BUSHING 6E0-44322-02

Function and technical context

This stainless steel bushing is part of the system for fixing and aligning critical components in Yamaha and Mercury engines. It acts as a support and centering element, guaranteeing the correct position of parts subjected to continuous vibrations and temperature changes inherent to marine operation. Its stainless material resists salt corrosion and humidity, prolonging the useful life of the assembly where it is mounted. A worn or corroded bushing compromises the alignment of the system, allowing unwanted play that can lead to premature wear of adjacent parts or loss of tightness.

When to replace this part?

Check this bushing if you notice abnormal engine vibrations, metallic noises during operation, or if you detect visible corrosion in the mounting area after maintenance cleaning. During the seasonal inspection, it is advisable to inspect the condition of this component, especially in vessels operated intensively in saline waters. Preventive replacement in general inspections prevents a damaged bushing from causing more costly secondary problems in the rest of the fixing system.

Equivalent manufacturer part numbers

This bushing is supplied under the official Yamaha and Mercury technical references, guaranteeing direct compatibility with the original mounting systems of both brands.
