OEM and Cross Reference Numbers

What This Part is Used For

Mercury part 8M0147795 is used on the pressure side of a Mercury Verado hydraulic power steering system when the pressure hose and Gen B steering component have different fitting styles.

The adapter provides the connection needed between the Verado pressure-side steering hose and the Gen B power steering pump or 897643A01 damper hose, depending on how the steering system is configured.

Mercury identifies this fitting as a male Saginaw-flare to male ORFS adapter. It is particularly useful when servicing or updating an existing Gen B Verado steering system with the later-style pressure hose connection.
