Current cross-reference listings also commonly associate this tube with older \u003cstrong\u003eAlpha and Bravo\u003c\/strong\u003e V6\/V8 sterndrive exhaust applications, but the safest match is by exact MerCruiser sterndrive parts diagram and serial range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number Fitment Notice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerify fitment by exact \u003cstrong\u003eengine serial number\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003edrive model\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the correct \u003cstrong\u003eexhaust \/ bellows diagram\u003c\/strong\u003e before ordering.

In practical service terms, it is also commonly replaced during bellows or transom-service work when the drive is already apart. This guidance is a practical service inference based on the part's documented role as the exhaust bellows tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall 14358001 only after confirming the correct MerCruiser exhaust bellows application for the drive being serviced. Because this is the \u003cstrong\u003eoval-shape exhaust tube\u003c\/strong\u003e, it should be matched to the correct sterndrive exhaust layout rather than ordered by appearance alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlternate\/Superseded Part Numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrent sources connect older Mercury \/ MerCruiser references \u003cstrong\u003e14358\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e14358T\u003c\/strong\u003e to \u003cstrong\u003e14358001\u003c\/strong\u003e.
