Performance & Real-World Benefits

The 8067271 reservoir cap may look small, but it does a big job in keeping your drive healthy. A proper seal prevents leaks and keeps contaminants from entering your gear lube system — crucial for maintaining lubrication and preventing internal damage.

Over time, exposure to heat and vibration can weaken or crack the original cap. This OEM replacement restores that factory seal, so you can top off your reservoir with confidence. It’s an easy, tool-free fix that helps protect your sterndrive from costly repairs caused by leaks or dirty gear lube.
