🔧 Product Description

Genuine Mercury Lower Cowl Seal - Part Number: 8238052

A genuine used Mercury rubber lower-cowl seal for selected 25HP to 125HP outboards. The seal is installed around the lower engine cowl or bottom-cowl joint rather than within the transom mounting bracket.

It helps close the joint between the lower cowling components, reducing water spray, fumes, vibration and noise entering or escaping around the engine enclosure.

🔌 Function

The seal closes the lower-cowl joint around the engine enclosure. It helps limit water spray, exhaust fumes, vibration and induction noise while preventing direct metal-to-metal contact between adjoining cowl components.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Rubber becomes hard, cracked or permanently flattened
  • Visible gaps around the lower-cowl joint
  • Increased cowl vibration, rattling or induction noise
  • Water spray or salt residue entering the lower cowling
  • Seal shrinks, tears or no longer remains seated in its channel
