Current seller references also show fitment across \u003cstrong\u003eMerCruiser R, MR, Alpha One, Alpha One SS, and Alpha One Gen II\u003c\/strong\u003e application families, with Alpha One Gen II coverage commonly tied to 1991–2002 and earlier R\/MR\/Alpha One families tied to 1983 and newer ranges depending on serial and drive version.

Confirm Mercury 94996T2 by the exact MerCruiser sterndrive serial number before ordering, especially on older R, MR, and Alpha-family drives where similar installation kits can look close but cover different housings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen This Part Needs Replacement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis kit should be used whenever the bell housing is removed and reinstalled in the covered applications. Because Mercury identifies 94996T2 specifically as the bell housing installation gasket kit and states it contains the required installation gaskets, it is the right service item for resealing that connection during bell housing service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUse this kit only on the covered MerCruiser drive families and match it to the exact sterndrive serial number before installation. Since current Mercury references position 94996T2 as the dedicated bell housing installation kit, it is best treated as a complete service set for that job rather than mixing old seals or partial loose gaskets into the reassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlternate\/Superseded Part Numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCurrent reviewed references identify \u003cstrong\u003e94996T2\u003c\/strong\u003e as the active genuine Mercury part number. Current Mercury and dealer references also show the dealer SKU format \u003cstrong\u003e27-94996T2\u003c\/strong\u003e for the same gasket set. No newer confirmed supersession is shown in the reviewed references.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParts Desk Insight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor MerCruiser drive gasket kits, the best buying checkpoint is the \u003cstrong\u003eexact drive family and serial number\u003c\/strong\u003e, not the phrase “drive gasket set” alone. Current references point clearly to bell housing installation use on R, MR, Alpha One, and Alpha One Gen II families, so serial-number confirmation is the cleanest way to avoid ordering the wrong installation kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping: Ships same or next day for fast Canada wide shipping. ⚓\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MERC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43563928289316,"sku":"94996T2","price":25.62,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/b27dff25-f664-4e23-a3a3-c04a093ced5a.png?v=1776104991","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/mercury-drive-gasket-set-94996t2","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
