Mercury – Bell Housing Installation Gasket Kit | Sterndrive Maintenance Kit | Marine-Grade Composite | 16755T1

Overview

When you’re putting your MerCruiser Bravo drive back together, every gasket has to seal perfectly. The Mercury Marine 16755T1 Bell Housing Installation Gasket Kit gives you a complete, ready-to-install set of six gaskets that do just that. Designed for MerCruiser Bravo sterndrives, these factory-quality gaskets fit precisely and hold up to years of heat, vibration, and pressure. They’re built to keep oil in, water out, and your drive performing the way Mercury intended — tight, reliable, and leak-free.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A proper seal makes all the difference in keeping your sterndrive performing like it should. The 16755T1 Gasket Kit includes every gasket needed for a clean, watertight installation. Each piece is made from a flexible yet durable composite that compresses evenly, maintaining a tight seal even after years of use.

These gaskets install easily, seat perfectly, and stay secure through constant vibration and exposure to heat and oil. Once the housing is torqued down, you’ll know your drive is sealed right — no leaks, no pressure loss, and no second guessing the job. It’s the kind of reliability you expect from Mercury OEM components.

Why Buy OEM

Aftermarket gasket kits can look similar but often miss the mark when it comes to material quality and precision cutting. The Mercury 16755T1 is a genuine OEM kit, built from materials tested for marine use and designed to fit your Bravo drive perfectly.

Each gasket in the set is engineered for proper compression and long service life, ensuring your drive stays sealed against oil, heat, and water. With OEM parts, you get the right fit the first time — no trimming, no leaks, just the quality and confidence that come with Mercury Marine engineering.
