Exhaust Bellows Kit Tamirey for Stern Drive Alpha & Bravo Seal

Description

Product Overview

The Tamirey Exhaust Bellows Kit is engineered as a precise, drop‑in replacement for the original equipment part numbers 18654A1 and 32734A3. Designed specifically for the Alpha series (Gen I and Gen II) and Bravo series (I, II, and III) stern drive configurations, this kit ensures a seamless fit without the need for modifications or custom machining. The core component is a ribbed rubber bellows that offers both flexibility and a basic sealing function, allowing the exhaust system to accommodate slight misalignments while resisting water ingress. At a compact size of roughly one inch on each side and weighing just 3.53 ounces, the kit is lightweight yet durable, making it ideal for both new installations and retrofit projects. The matte exterior finish reduces glare and helps hide minor wear, while the robust construction meets the demanding conditions of marine environments, including exposure to saltwater, temperature fluctuations, and vibration.

Usage

This bellows kit is intended for use on a wide range of recreational and commercial vessels that rely on stern‑drive propulsion systems. Whether you are maintaining a weekend fishing boat, a high‑performance sport cruiser, or a work‑horse utility vessel, the Exhaust Bellows Kit provides a reliable connection between the engine exhaust manifold and the downstream exhaust pipe. The flexible nature of the ribbed rubber allows the bellows to absorb engine movement and hull flex, which is especially valuable in rough sea conditions where constant vibration can otherwise lead to cracks or leaks. Installation is straightforward: the kit can be mounted using the existing clamp hardware, and no special tools beyond a standard wrench set are required. This makes it an attractive option for DIY boat owners as well as professional marine technicians seeking to reduce downtime.
