# 2288847A1 Mercury MerCruiser Plug Kit | Genuine Quicksilver OEM Part

🔧 Product Description

  

Genuine Quicksilver Gimbal Housing Access Plug Kit - Part Number: 22-88847A1

  

A genuine Quicksilver access-hole plug kit used when servicing the upper swivel shaft and gimbal ring on Mercury MerCruiser transom assemblies.

  

The kit allows access holes to be created in the gimbal housing so the upper swivel-pin nut can be removed without taking the complete gimbal housing from the boat. After the repair is completed, the supplied plugs close and seal the access openings.
