Exhaust Water Shutter Assembly – Fits MerCruiser Diesel 3.0L, 3.6L, 4.2L Engines (Replaces 807166A3)

This exhaust water shutter assembly is designed for MerCruiser Diesel 3.0L, 3.6L, and 4.2L engines (1992–1995). It features the correct butterfly-style water flapper design required for the exhaust Y-pipe, preventing water from entering the engine through the exhaust system while allowing exhaust gases to exit.

This component is a direct replacement for Mercury Marine part 807166A3, Sierra 18-2732-9, and GLM 89170.

  • Engineered for direct fitment to the exhaust Y-pipe.
  • Compatible with diesel fuel applications.
  • Installation is a simple press-fit process using the included rubber grommets.

Installation Guide

  1. Ensure the engine is completely cool before beginning. Locate the exhaust Y-pipe where the old shutters are situated.
  2. Carefully pry out and remove the old, deteriorated shutter assemblies along with their rubber grommets.
  3. Thoroughly clean the mounting surface inside the Y-pipe to remove any debris or residue.
  4. Insert the new rubber grommets into the pre-drilled holes on each of the new shutter assemblies.
  5. Align the new shutter assembly inside the Y-pipe housing, ensuring the flapper is oriented correctly to open outwards.
  6. Firmly press the grommet pins into the corresponding holes in the Y-pipe until the shutter clicks securely into place.
  7. Manually check that both butterfly flaps can move freely without any obstruction or binding. Repeat for the second shutter.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this fits my engine?
This shutter assembly is designed exclusively for MerCruiser Diesel 3.0L, 3.6L, and 4.2L engines made between 1992 and 1995. To guarantee fitment, please verify your engine model and year against our "Compatible Engine Models" list and ensure your current part number matches one of the cross-references provided, such as 807166A3.

What are the symptoms of a failing water shutter?
Common signs include engine overheating at idle speeds, a gurgling sound from the exhaust, or back-pressure issues. Visually, you may find the old shutters are cracked, broken, or missing entirely, which can lead to water ingestion and catastrophic engine damage.

Is this sold as a single item or a complete set?
This product is sold as a complete set. Each package contains two shutter assemblies and four rubber grommets, which is everything required to service one engine exhaust Y-pipe.
